Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

Life's a Joy

The young want to be older
   The old want to be younger
There's a blessing to each age
   Life's a joy at every stage

If the grass is greener on the other side
   You won't be happy 'til you've died
So focus on the here and now
   The future's not given anyhow

Line Gauthier September 22, 2019 at 4:39 PM Brilliant, Gershon. Gershon Wolf September 22, 2019 at 4:55 PM You are just too kind, Line!! Thank you so much, Gershon

Tom Cunningham September 22, 2019 at 4:06 PM Very true Gershon, we all want to be grown ups when we're young, shame we can't go back. But yes every day is a joy that we should make the most of whatever age we are. Gershon Wolf September 22, 2019 at 4:55 PM That's right. Just take it as it comes. "Chillax, Dad," as my youngest son tells me. Cheers, Gershon
