OLD AGE

Well whoever “they “are that say; “age is but a number”

I agree; and counting forward when you’re only ten isn’t a problem!

But oh baby that “number” has moved past my years

Of having a perfect ass, firm thighs and curvy body!

The “number” has overtaken my physical and left my mental in tact!

Hey, but  “it’s all good”…I just have a new “swagger”!

Now I am ready to live life as if it were the sweetest candy.

Couldn’t earlier because I had to work, had to raise my child,

Had to marry, divorce then fall in love with the wrong guy

Again and waste many years hoping he would change!

Went back to school, found balance in my life when God

Found me consuming quantities of Remy VSOP with Drambuie back!

Now I have this little health problem that prevents me

From drinking, eating chocolate, french fries and meat!

Oh, yeah, I have to exercise like crazy and drink water

Until my pee has no color and try to decipher the new

Math as I endeavor to assist my granddaughter with homework!

I have acquired so much wisdom by living this life of mine.

Finally, I can live it well, partake of it as a connoisseur; wear it

Like haute couture fashion and wash the gray out

Of my hair with a little help from my salon stylist!

Ok, so I’m definitely not in my prime, I’m well past it;

But I’m ready to fall in love one last time, ready to retire

And not have to set the alarm for work, and so ready

To see more, do more, enjoy more, live more of my life.

Old Age? Yes, I’m older but so very thankful that I am still here!
