ALIVE AT 65

Author: godsprincess

When I was age five
Fairy tales were still alive

Along came 15
Wow now I’m a teen

An aspiring adult at 25
Things are just coming alive

Not a young adult at 35
But still keeping my stride

Middle age at 45
Old age is a far cry

Oh dear now 55
Managing to still thrive

Today I will turn 65
Still here and am alive!

About this poem:

I pray that I came through with Socrates suggestion. I am turning 65 on July 11th.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, KATHY, !!!
GOD'S PRINCESS

Here is an acrostic I wrote just for you:

Kathy is new to our corner family
And she writes some very beautiful poetry
That is commented on very favourably
Her poems reflect her cheerful humility
Yielding to the Lord whom she worships sincerely

Best Wishes to You!

Not only alive Miss princess, but alive and kicking. I'm a little further along life's road than you, and if I may share this secret with you: The answers is never to worry about the things you can no longer do, but simply major on the things you still can do.

A nice write Kathy, here's wishing you many more decades to celebrate.

Kindest regards

Bill:

There's still a lot of things I can still do I would gladly give up to someone else.

However, I am still glad I am physically able to do them like: mowing, weeding, shoveling snow, etc.

Thank you for your Birthday greetings and encouragement in writing my poems.

Funnily enough I am in the process of writing the family history and when I cover different events, I recall how I thought of everyone past 40 as ancient...and 50....close to death. Now at 67 I am writing the memories for the generation that follow, or are in the marrying age and have no idea of the family story. What has made a huge impression are the amount of women mentioned who are without husbands, not because of divorce, but death in their 40's and 50's.Dare I say that I agree with those who think 60 is the old 50...as I realise I am closer to 70 that 60....
Great write, that I am sure many can associate with....

Kathy,
Belated Birthday wishes!

Fairy tales can come true!
It could happen to you,
if you are young at heart!

Ah! I remember the days at 65
when one could still relish the good life!
May Music and Happiness continue to
embellish your day!

Oops! To late for the party? Perhaps a late night castle bash would
make amends? Missed this one Kathy. Happy Birthday dear.
