Comment from Sandra du Plessis

Excellent

Some people hide their real age and act and dress like younger people. It takes courage and wisdom to be proud and act your real age and be a happy person

this is a wonderful true poem that I so enjoy. I love the humor of the poem in that picture. It is so true. We recently became empty nesters and we really are getting to know each other better and differently. Here's to the many stages of life.

We no longer worry
What others may say
If they want to gossip
About us, that's okay

I love this. It is so very true. Unfortunately, I can't travel due to my disability, but I do get to do most of what I want and have oodles of time for writing! Good poem, my friend~Debbie

I like your message in this poem, Marijke. We do gain some freedom as we get older and are no longer responsible for raising our children

This is a poem with a message about the liberating effect of aging. The responsibilities are fewer and opportunities greater. The quatrains organize the information and the rhyme moves the narrative along smoothly.

Hi there,

Another very nicely penned piece you have crafted here. I have heard that many struggle to know what to do with themselves after their kids grow up and move away, but the possibilities are once again endless.

very well penned.
