Happy 70th

Some days I am twelve or thirteen Other days I am eight or nineteen Age is nothing at all, which I have now seen Glad to be an artist and poetry queen I have no advice for you, for I do not live your way Except to enjoy every nook and cranny of every day Be yourself, and never be afraid to play Dancing is great, if your ankles will sway I say to my youngers, do everything you want to do now I have trouble walking in pastures, out to my cow take the trips, and eat that sweet, fattening chow do things that amaze others, make them say “wow!” Seventy is the new fifty, is what I heard last week. Fifty was never the age that I planned to seek. Do what you want, never be too mild or meek Seventy likes to sit with bare feet in the creek. Some days you will feel like twelve or twenty-two. This is quite normal; I know. I am seventy-two. Do whatever you need for your soul to do. to be the best you; to be the best YOU.
