Tammy Reams Poet Verse

Does Age Matter 'For Adult Contest'

In God's eyes I'm just a babe
even though at fifty-seven is my true age

At sixty I will become a child
still time to grow with skill and at times fail

So much learning is still desired
until the day my body will retire

When I'm gone in heaven I soar
in his eyes an adult is born

Everything from past to present
my eyes will see what I have achieved

If I have failed in things I've done
as an adult with God his love is strong.

Paul Callus May 6, 2015 at 9:47 AM Hi Tammy! Age is but a number; sixty will not make you child, but a grown-up person who can boast of a treasure called experience:) // paul Tammy Reams May 7, 2015 at 7:20 PM Thank you Paul for the sweet comment.
