A Much Younger Santa

Notice my stunning new avatar Can't believe how young and dashing I was At one time I was even a younger than that Mom actually had to change my diaper I know, I know, I'm so sophisticated now It's beyond people's comprehension That I was once a snotty nosed little know it all Full of my own importance We live and learn as the old saying goes We're only one of seven billion inhabitants My teen years were years of insecurities So from these shy bashful beginnings Emerged a handsome dude fighting off the girlies Oops sorry! Lost it there! Still dreaming of those days long ago What we make of our lives is of our own doing We can even rise to be famous And be remembered by generations to come It's all up to us We are the masters of our own destiny

We get old but we have a limited time here on earth! I am one of the fortunate ones because I will be 89 next month... I have a sister who is 96... WOW! Maybe I will survive that age we never know when our time is up! Have a super day my friend!
