AGE comes upon. us gradually,realisation
hits us all of a sudden.Hearing no longer
acute,coments and questions will need a
repeat for our world is no longer distinct.
One day we need assistance with what
others voice and say.Deficient,an aid. to
complement the grey.
AGE comes upon us so gradually realisation
hits us all of a sudden.Floaters appear in our
eye,magnification is needed for things both
near and far,the door is ajar.
AGE comes upon us so gradually realisation
hits us all of sudden.Fingers have nodules
and bumps,no longer grip and to prevent a
fall,we walk with a stick.
Wisdom and experience of life is ignored,
not wanted at all.Absent the mind,sometimes
'senior moments' we recall for the realisation
of age,so gradual creeps up on us all.

Having lived nearly three score and ten
these years have known of evidence royal
for all my days Queen Elizabeth II reigned
now passed to glory her majesty so loyal
Looking back on these memorable years
so much to be thankful and very glad
having watched the coronation on tv
great memories to recall when I was a lad
This royal reign brought stability upfront
despite many ups and downs through the years
the Queen was faithful to her high duty
a people's inspiration amidst our fears
The commonwealth increased in unity
drawing great strength from each other
so many both young and old so inspired
were constantly renewed to go even further
Her Majesty was a lady of faith
belief in God so personally true
here is evidence of the values of royalty
those that deny all this have no clue!
Here I am nearly reached three score and ten
life has passed on through my years
it's been eventful that's certain for sure
but have survived it with no tears
Nerves have ruled most of my life
been a battle but won some of them
strangers approaching makes you frizz
but learn to adapt so feel a gem
So often felt not the real thing
not quite the normal guy such a tongue
words were never my strong point
struggle was my word even when I was young
But you adapt finding strength to win
despite the struggles, you get there somehow
been always in a job for worked 44 years
now enjoy retirement fully free now
Standing where I am in truth
pleased to have reached this place
looking back seeing God's hand on me
feel privileged to achieve this at base
( A look back on life from today's standpoint)
Three score and ten
that leaves me five
should I be glad
I’m still alive
Three score and ten
may seem a lot
until you reach
the halfway slot.
But when there’s
only five at last
the other sixty
flew by fast.
But maybe
I’ll be granted more
if I go knocking
on God’s door.
The church I mean
not Pearly Gate,
it’s there I hope
that I’ll be late.
But singing hymns
what with my voice
the Devil could be
better choice.
For he looks after
sinners well
or so I’ve heard
(‘til they’re in Hell).
No, better just
to ramble on
‘til finally
I’m dead and gone.
Just live my life
for every day,
in fact,
that’s always been my way!

A Winter Storm Called Jonas
By Franklin Price
1/22/2016
A winter storm called Jonas
Has brought a world of white
Began in dark of early morn
Through the day and into night
Sleet and snow and freezing rain
Precipitation Winter's three
Plus six inches on the ground
Heavy dusting in the trees
A winter wonder land to see
Smooth uninterrupted view
It's a shame to walk upon it
To no longer make it new
Put my winter suit on me
Rubber boots upon my feet
I slid a sled down the neighbor's hill
Built a snow man that was neat
At my age I think that's great
I am three score and ten
The next time winter brings the snow
I hope to do it once again
Today is April Twenty Third
By Franklin Price
4/23/2018
Today is April twenty third,
It's the best day of my life.
In the event, you haven't heard,
It's the birthday, of Barb, my wife.
Today she is three score and ten
She is my moon and sun
Our lives together did begin
When she was one score one
I know that God was looking
And was watching out for me
He planned my wedding booking
To the best wife there could be
This is not an anniversary write
Though it sounds it could be so
Her birthday, remembered, since that night,
We were married long ago.
Now that I've publicly declared
The birthday of my mate,
And how our lives together fared,
How she was born on this date,
It's time I moved this poem along
To wish the one that it's about
A Happy Birthday with a song
When she awakes, I'll sing it out
(personal to Barbara)
Happy Birthday, sweetheart
Wife, lover and best friend
In my life, you are the best part
And will be, 'til the end
It's three thirty in the morning time
As I write this in our home
Must close this rather lengthy rhyme
Ere it becomes a tome
In closing, I would like to say
I love you more and more
Looking forward to each birthday
As you can see, I'm keeping score
The Dues I Pay
There are so many hues in the colour gray.
That colour fills – are dues I must pay
for how I have lived – my used up day
upon this plane – a misty cover to stay
mist filled eyes projecting a desire to say,
“ I am sorry ” to all, for ? and want to pray
that all I have done wrong will not fray
the edges of this scene, in which I play
- for three score and ten – my part - my way
guided by the Stars ?, Mars ?, Musical bars.
By those who influenced ?, my business in cars ?
Now all my days - in grays – direct me – lost
to all that once had meaning, feeling – at what cost ?
A soulless spirit that roams the passages of time, frost
on his shoulders, ice in his veins.
That is all, of this soul, that remains

Beginnings. In-between. Endings
Distances between penetration and penetration
is but a brief moment towards creation of life.
Life exists within its warm protective watery universe.
A window opens, life sees first light of day through a gap.
This Holy of Holy’s vessel is capable of nurturing
or it relinquishes, letting Nature take the helm, to guide.
A journey that takes years, decades, three score and ten,
creating a personality, a character worthy or not.
That life traversed this plane carrying, living its history,
then a door closes on this known universe and opens,
opens up into another dimension, another reality,
a reality that will last for eons, for all eternity.
Or will it ???

Lo, silver strand vertical
from chest to chest
you doth go
exhale the breath of God
breath of life from His mouth
inhaled to the lungs of of human host
LO! YON SILVER STRAND OF Life-
lovely is the dawn of day
creation has be established
arise young man
go out and name every animal and mammal
Rejoice in the joys of what God gave
creation is all His
longevity of life depends on our wills
the more obedient the longer we live
LO! YON SILVER STRAND OF Life-
At best we be sinners saved by grace
To live some three score and ten
Lo, silver cord
When God cuts the tie
This is when you shall physically die
L0! yon silver strand of life
Sent back to heaven, now everything alright

This is a question to really shock you
as folk get into a panic to buy gifts
racking their brains what do they get?
when the receiver really hasn't got a clue
Now nearly reaching my three score and ten
what do I really need at my time in life
material gifts lose their so called desire
paying over the odds among all the strife
What price is it for what I really want?
like sense of peace in my soul
to know God loves me no matter what
what contentment this brings as my goal
Then consider having a real holy joy
no more mumps and moans to express
but finding a real depth down inside
joyfulness, a cover for my heavenly dress
No money can buy true inner calmness
so much unfulfilled inner satisfaction
but even if words for me just don't come
peace like a river produces a chain reaction
Peace joy and calm
three blessed gifts so rare
no money can buy them
only God gives these to share
