My 18th December Musings

I am 69 now, going into the 70s, Maybe it’s time for the chill-pill,

Old friends that I, at times meet, Tell me I’m still young and neat,

Modestly, to that I must Agree..

Nothing comes from nothing, And surely, nothing ever could,

Somewhere in youth or childhood, My elders thought of me as good,

And the blessings remain with Me..

Every day is new day for learning, Wonders still continue to amaze,

There’s much left to see & know, Time ticks on, with it we all flow,

Live today, future’s not ours to see..

Birthdays come and go every year, Yet best gifts are being reminded of, 

Wonderful family, friends who care, And the loving wishes they all share,

I’m blessed, people still think of Me !
