Who Am I

Quote Written By Poet "In youth we can do all things. In middle age we can still dream. Seniors can only reminisce."

              In middle age,
        feeling grown up over the years.
      A flower opening up to the world,
        know where I am going.
  Now standing firm and tall through many challenges,
  I am enjoying what life has to give me now.
    I can see this big world clearly,
  I am ready to finish the run of life strong.

              With each new day,
        showing me how to be better.
      A better wife, a mother and a friend,
        letting peace show brightly.
  Giving makes the world go around with joy to all,
  it is fun to give away time and ideas.
    I love writing for my readers,
  giving them a smile or two as they read along.

I like your write but share a different opinion of seniors. They can do more than reminisce I feel but it depends on mindset and mobility and motivation. Enjoyed reading Paula!
