Eighty Today by Bob Moore © 7 Feb 2022 I’m 80 today I don’t know why the years have got away and time it did fly I’ve had a good life and done lots of things but where did the years go they must have had wings I’ve lived and I’ve loved and I’ve travelled afar seen happy and sad times and can still drive a car I think I am lucky to have had a good life and am still here each day to spend time with my family, and my wife. Bob Moore

I started driving at 16! My parents bought me a Chevy Ragtop. Red and White, with whitewall tires. A dream car. I am up in years, also, we match!-))) will say a prayer we stay well. Being older, I am running out of gas being on here! Gee, I remember when I was a wild thing!))) Pangie xx
