As We Age
As we age
bodies change
things expand
rearrange.
Keep on moving
exercise more
happy thoughts
as good as before.

Boats on Land
Boats on land are very sad, really need water or they get mad.
They like to rock, they like to roll, the only way to feed their soul.
Must be launched to really be free. Share their joy with you and me.
Joyous Thoughts
Joyous Thoughts
Love
with a quiet heart
Speak
with a soft word
Surround
with gentle arms
See
with kind eyes
Live
with joyous thoughts

Wonderful Gifts
Wonderful Gifts
The beauty of youth, a gift to all
it’s energy and curiosity arrive when we’re small.
The knowledge of age, earned along the way
by what we do, what we say.
Patience and understanding, quiet insight
brings calm and love that feels just right.
Youth and age never do meet
they meld one to the other, a wonderful feat.
Life never allows choice of youth or age
a dilemma for some, even outrage.
The value of time, the knowledge of joys
are wonderful gifts, not youthful toys.

Good Friends Sometimes Disagree
Good Friends Sometimes Disagree
Good Friends sometimes disagree
talk things thru, soon you will see.
It’s just caring, me about you
you about me
a gentle quiet sharing.

We Have Freedom
We Have Freedom
We have freedom to fly
in our heart
in our mind.
We have ability to choose
with each new day
each new find.
We have power to love
people near
people not our kind.
We have choice to create
life full of love or
life just a grind.

Feel With Your Heart
Feel With Your Heart
The path may not
be clear in your head
listen and feel
with your heart instead.

The Answer
The Answer
Why can’t we see it?
We don’t seem to hear it
Seldom do we feel it
the answer to a problem.
It’s always simple –
if we would turn around and look
if we would be quiet and listen
if we would be still and feel.
The answer is always there –
in our heart, our mind and soul.

What Do I Like?
What Do I Like?
Fresh air – blue skies
knowing people kinda wise.
New mown grass – flowers in Spring
sharing with friends who smile & sing.
Waves at the ocean – a quiet stream
saying goodbye to those who are mean.
Petting my dog – a quiet walk
sharing time for a little talk.
These are the things I really like
sharing my joy always feels right.

Saturday
Saturday
Sitting around Saturday, nothing to do
should I take a walk or visit the zoo.
Find the number of a really old friend
call them up, find out how they’ve been.
Mow the lawn, weed the garden
let it grow – dear neighbors, beg my pardon.
Wash the car, wax the old girl
throw clothes in the dryer, give them a twirl.
Sweep the floors, pick up the dust
clean the grill, remove the rust.
The options are clear – the work must be done
but I really want to be out on the run.
Meet new friends, visit … Read the rest
Not Much to Say
Not Much To Say
Start my day
not much to say.
Take my pills
pay my bills.
Time for a walk
a little small talk.
Lunch with a friend
our stories never end.
Get a few jobs done
catch dinner on the run.
Evening time
peaceful mind.
Not a single regret
a quiet sunset.
End my day
not much to say.
