Never say never, it comes back to bite;
Obviously is never obvious.
Great thoughts coming from a great person who have managed to confront all the surprises with optimistic life attitude.
In my humble opinion your poem is an absolute winner because of the all truths that it conveys. Great.

A deeply meaningful poem and you seem to have such a good attitude. My health is precarious, but I try to make everyday count. Sitting around being depressed (which I have done at times) is such a waste. I try to live a full and happy life within my abilities. A wonderful write. You are in my thoughts and prayers~Debbie

A look at your portfolio. You're not eighty-three yet. But your poem describes nicely, what life may be like at that age. Body outside 83, inside young. Well done.

High Linda,
I like your style and view of life
Whatever life throws at you,
Your spirit remains high.
Knees may hurt a bit,
Eyes a bit dim by day,
Even bladder may be weak
But look on the bright side.
At 83 who says life is over.
Ride on girl.
Enjoy every day as you said in your last line
'Zippy, I have another wonderful day'. With your kind of spirit you will see many days yet. Well done Linda. Long may you lively remain.
Remain blessed

I'm actually 65 years old but have Congestive Heart Failure and a very weak heart. My mind is about 35 but my body feels like I'm 83. Thanks for reading. Linda

Thanks Linda. Age is in the mind. You're are as young as your mind tells you.
Enjoy life. Trust and believe.
Remain blessed.

That was wonderful, written from the heart. I commend you on being able to write your whole life in a nutshell and within the confines of the ABC alphabet. I enjoyed it immensely.

Terrific! It follows the form but seems to come from the heart. It tells its story simply, directly, without apology or remorse. I enjoyed its factual tone. Well done, linda. It has an honest voice. Good luck in the contest.

Hello Livelylinda,
Keeping in mind the Author Notes,
Marvelous piece of Biographical Poetry/ A to Z, almost an Adventurous Attempt/ emitting positive waves/ simple, but impressive wording/ perfectly matching the 'sensible' theme/ smooth captivating flow/ lively imagery.
"Ill from coronary heart disease,
Jarring my life into new directions, but,
Keeping my sense of humor through it all;"
Superb! Best of Luck!
