A Little Poem On 'Getting Older' - Celebrating Creativity In 'Old Age'

The sea is rough and I never learned to swim So I won't push the boat out I won't push the boat out I shall stay on shore and have a feast Of delicious happy thoughts and plans For treats and pleasures coloured pink With my extraordinary friends and swap stories About how we survived so far and feel proud. Then maybe we shall play some cards or paint a picture Perhaps sing a song filled with nostalgia and cry while We celebrate each other with toasts made of sparkles And effervesse with happy feelings and love for each other!
