Getting Older

Oh my fellow mortals,

Shouldn't we stop complaining for getting older

When

We very well know, that it is the only way for us

Alive to stay?

Hahaha, that is of course so true dear Demetrios. We should live each day to the full, for it will never come again, and in the meantime we are one day closer to paradise - hopefully! Kindest thoughts Ann xx
