Three score years and one

Three score years and one

Three score years and one, Oh my God that sounds old
Tho this is my lifespan today alltold
Now I may not be wealthy with riches to own but I have lived long enough to tell tall tales that I have known
So please do not judge from what you see there is longevity left inside of me

My eyes have seen so many changes 
I have indeed adapted to disarranges
Yet I yearn for my years of yesterday when there was youthfulness in my heart to run and play
Tho I am lucky at three score years and one as I have made memories to treasure from my days bygone
This little verse tells the timeslessness of my time on our Universe with a future to climb

I have slowed the cogs within my brain to ease my apprenhension and soothe my strain
This must be what one does when age gains you coz what’s the point in rushing around feeling stressful and blue
I just go with the flow just like a blowing breeze and follow my instincts to gain appease
I measure my wisdom from my three score years and one 
A life of fullfilment from the sea and the sun

Life is definitely what we make it. And what's the point in rushing around? None! Great write, Jill x

Jillian, 
Wonderful write. Is today your Birthday??!! If so, Happy Birthday!! If not, Happy Monday! You are younger than the youngest of chickens, and only as old as your mind foresees, and your mind's wonderfully young! 
Loved it!!!

Well Happy Belated Birthday, young lady!! My brother's Birthday is April 4th, did you know that? I wasn't born, I was more of a hatching process, so I don't actually have a birthday, but if I did, I would bequeath it to you, so that you had two. Miss you!!! Matthew.

PS. Is that a picture of your chin on there? If so, great chin! And you look very young. If not, then that person's chin is nice, and looks young. Happy Chin!! Matthew.

My Dear Jill,

Such a beautiful write.
What I wouldn't give to be "three score and one", instead of four score less five.

All my love,
Larry xxx
