Feelings

When I was 70 I wrote a poem whilst here at Gran Canaria but never posted it. So here it is at 72:-
FEELINGS
I wonder where the years have gone
As I sit here on my own
Facebook reminds me it's my birthday right
Many years older and headful of white.

Best wishes from far and wide
Flood in like the tide
Overwhelmed with the expressed love and care
From those that have taken time to share.

I take note of each reply 
of friends and others I can justify.

This is not a popularity game I have in mind
My heart is open and always kind.

I suffered a few wounds of the physical and mental kind
Some may never heal in my heart and mind.

Yes, life is full of regrets and if onlys
But we must strive never to be lonely.

Love life, spread joy and always be kind
Then you will enjoy a healthy mind.

Smile and say hello to everyone??

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
