And Now For the Next Half a Century

.......And Now For The Next Half A Century! Over 50? Bring it on! Feeling so empowered Learning now that life's for grabs So much to be devoured! Over 50? Piece of cake Sitting on my laurels Fed them, read them, washed them, wed them Taught them all their morals Over 50? Feeling great! Welcoming that wrinkle Gravity - go do your thing My eyes will always twinkle Over 50? Never wiser! Learning to say no Earned my moods lost some feuds Now basking in the glow Over 50? Liking me Dressing as I please Goodbye fads, hello plaids I ve no one to appease Over 50? No regrets Think it s pretty nifty Guess I ll stick around a bit To check out things at sixty!

I remember 50, and I felt much the same as you. Thanks for bringing back those first feelings of a certain sort of freedom. Love, OLd Dave (82)
