Senior Moments

SENIOR MOMENTS In our lives, there comes a time When we find that we're past our prime Even though we're no spring chicken We're glad to be alive and kickin' Maybe our hair is thin and gray But it doesn't have to stay that way There's Loreal and Miss Clairol And Grecian Formula, and that's not all We can get a toupee or maybe a wig And look spiffy enough to dance a jig We could all dress up in our finest clothes And strike a dashing handsome pose We can sit and dream of days gone by Recalling when we were young and spry We say with a nod, a wink, and a grin I wish it could be that way again But we're soon snapped back to reality And begin to long for eternity Realizing that God in His infinite plan Made a provision for woman and man So let's not dwell on bygone days And wish again for those primitive ways Let's thank the Lord for the here and now And what we earned by the sweat of our brow Then in that land beyond the sun He can say to all of us, “well done” We'll be ushered in and take a seat To worship forever at Jesus' feet Curtis Moorman May 2005

This is really fun and the message is very positive. I know almost exactly when I started to feel strange about my looks. I was late 50's. Now at 62, I am definitely feeling changes and HATING it. Until age 55, I swear I was nearly wrinkle free and looked really young. Geeeez. It's just horrid to suddenly notice all the little things going wrong (and no money to fix it!) By the way, I like your Avatar.

Thanks, Andrea for everything that you do to encourage me to keep writing. At 74 (until St. Patrick's Day 2018) I am not exactly wrinkle free but I really feel good when I am told that i don't look a day over 60. And you, dear lady, in your avatar do not look to be anywhere near 62. I see it as a great picture of a great lady.

I did an alphabetical search of your poetry and I see no Sounds of a Rose, Curtis. Can you give me the link. While I am in the S section, let me check out this one I never saw before.

In a Soup mail, I sent you the exact title of the poem but I'll include it here. It is entitled The Sounds of a Rose. That is why you were unable to find it in the S section.
