62

There's nothing more that I can do But celebrate turning Sixty-two It came about when I looked away I always thought sweet youth would stay Despite my growing apprehension Father Time said “no extension”! We know that time goes really fast My mirror tells me that youth has passed My eyes aren't quite as clear and bright As when I partied through the night So I began embracing 62 By getting a Ladybug tattoo I could go into a frantic rage When I think of my advancing age I still have plans that cannot wait Starting now before it's too late Now I'm wiser; calm; all knowing Can't seem to keep my waist from growing The bloom of youth has faded away But I can still go out and play Things aren't as easy as they used to be Now aches and pains get the better of me There is no time for slowing down I wear a smile instead of a frown No time to wait, no growing older No time to hate, just growing bolder Take time to laugh and have some fun Before this glorious journey is done Although I yearn for days no more Memories are right inside the door I have my true love, and children around me If trouble calls, my friends surround me I have no fear of what lies ahead I have today, no feeling of dread I am at peace with 62 As long as I breathe there's more to do Margi at 62
