Hi, Marki

= Goodness you are so right!
= The heck with what people say, expect, think.
= I've been through too darn much to worry or live up to what someone deems I should.
= Love the poem.
= FYI ... the latest chapter in your book comes up blank in the body.

Marijke,

You seemed to have captured the happy side of aging
and I hope I can embrace your positivity...or stay
miserable:(

Your poem with its short lines and alternating rhymes
has a musical feel to it and should be distributed at
every over 55 community and every senior home...lol

That is a cute photo and I guess you will continue to
be inspired by those circulating photos...At least they
are good for something.

Linda

Hi Linda. I'm pleased you enjoyed, as I enjoyed writing this one. I have a couple more of those photos which might lend themselves to a poem down the track... you never know. Thanks for your kind and generous review. Warmest regards, Marijke :o)

With age comes wisdom? Why didn't somebody tell me!

I like this very much, Marijke. It flows effortlessly, the rhyme and meter are great.

I also agree wholeheartedly with the sentiments expressed (well, except for the wisdom bit - I'm still waiting).

Love the shirts - I want a set (obviously not with Jan, but it's close).

Very nice work.

Yes the children left the nest but

This little ditty just waltzes the reader right on down the page with such ease. It definitely puts a smile on ones face, especially when one is of the age to truly appreciate the thoughts and time you've put into this with your gentle rhyme. I really enjoyed this. Lora

Hi Marijke. Love this poem very much, I agree with the wisdom, but on the fun I have to wait a while I"m afraid...LOL. Usual it goes the way you discribed.
When children have left home you have the time to do what you want. Freedom is waiting.... Maybe there comes a time I can enjoy it too...
Lots of love and smiles from miles. Fietje xxxxxx

I relished those T-shirts and want a set! Thanks for more reminders that age is just an attitude. Your poem resonated for me and your rhymed quatrains were appealing. Yes, "here is to wisdom" that age brings" and enjoy the "stage"! -Joan
