World Day of the Elderly

A summit, old age is, 

That

Whoever, succeeds to ascend

The 

Panorama of life, in all its glory,

Can see!*



(C) Demetrios Trifiatis
  01 October 2015


*Today is the World Day of the Elderly. Without them
we would never be here! Remember them! Love them!

Demetrios it is a special day to Honor our elderly brothers and sisters that we will someday be. My dad is 78 I will call him today. Your writing inspired me to do so. I call him several times a week he is vacationing in Florida. He is a wonderful father. I wish you a nice wonderful day my friend. You always bring joy to my heart.
