It's All In the Swing

Who says I’m getting old?
My hairs are not gray
Its beautiful sterling silver
The finest silver around
Who says I’m getting old?
My face isn’t bright red
I’m not having hot flashes
I just have constant sunburn
I love the outdoor
Who say’s I’m getting old?
Not me I’m as young as I feel
Tennis anyone?

I'm "swinging" right there with you, Laura! The "hot flashes" and "sunburn" made me laugh. This is a graceful perspective on aging. I agree with Carrie -- You Go Girl!
