Lost my hanky
I am cranky
Bones are creaking
Nose is leaking
Knees are snapping
Brain is napping
Pain in shoulder
Getting boulder
Toenails toughen
Breath is puffin'
Sights' appalling
Hair is falling
Can't remember
Last September
Mem'ries going
Nose ain't blowing
Now it's dripping
Heart is skipping
Sometimes heart is quick'ning
Veins are thick'ning
Pill box beeping
Friends are sleeping
While I am talking
Limp when walking
Hearing's failing
Thyroid's ailing
Hairs grow in
On cheek and chin
Head is hurtin'
One things certain
Age is showin'
I'll keep goin'
It's a song
That must be sung
Body's old
But Spirit's young

Grown men can learn from very small children for the hearts of the little children are pure. Therefore, The Great Spirit may show to them many things which older people miss.......Black Elk

Hi Dave, Nice to see a familiar face so early in the morning.
That was Martin, So.Dak. in Bennett County. Have many stories
I could convey from that time in my life. Just between the
two reservations. Went to many POW-WOWS. What a beautiful
sight.

Siren, Good morning. On my 3rd cup of coffee. I just may
post some of those stories in the near future. Only attended
one Sundance Ceremony before they quit letting the public
in. A sight of nothing but rare courage and one I will never
forget. I love the Native American music. There seems to
always be a story in their music. Linda

Dan Rather once interviewed a 106 year old man and wanted to know his secret to long life. The old man rocked back and forth in his chair before answering. Finally he replied, " keep breathing. "



lol

Sure, growing older is stressful, but using your sense of humor to subdue that kind of stress works wonders. When you hear snap, crackle, pop, and it isn't your cereal dont panic. Laughter defuses insults, soothes aching muscles and counteracts the humiliation of what is happeneing to our bodies and minds.

There are ways to develop thinking about our physical limitation as we age. After a lifetime of straining to be " the perfect perky ideal, " finally the females breasts can relax. lol. And the extra weight around the middle is just cuddlier body lines.

So as birthdays come we should not think of ourselves as growing old; we are reaching that vibrant metallic age: silver in our hair, gold in our teeth and lead in our bottoms.


rolling on the floor laughing
