Age Only Tells Half the Story

Whether looking for a mate Or an Employee who won't come in late, Age only tells half the story. You are never too old or too young, If the add cries out for a young gun, And not a single one replies, Or if the add asks for an experienced old one, And not a single one replies, Then age will have told only half the story, If you are a looking for a healthy mate, Age by itself may not indicate, A healthy state. And age will have told only half the story. If you want experience, Don't age ring fence, No offence, But age will have told only half the story.

I love that my grandma at an old age was hosting at McDonalds. I miss her voice, her spark, her love. God bless you, dear one!

Hopefully we will see more grandmas doing the same and gardening as that seems to keep one healthier. Gloves are important though as skin is not so elastic as when younger. can't wait til I have finished getting things ready for my daughter, partner and grandson to move in so I can get back to our garden. I pray for those affected adverse weather events happening in all countries. Thanks for reading and commenting David

My son and his friend coached a soccer team at age 15 because they were all that was available. Same in a war. Suddenly women were option for some jobs. You are either too young too old or wrong sex or race until you are only option. Same when there is a disaster, rules that applied before disaster are suspended. Ingenious souls us humans or maybe a touch pragmatic, even slightly devious when it comes to keeping the wheels of commerce turning. Regards David
