Carefree Days of my Youth
I like to reminisce
On those glorious days of my youth
A day never missed
I knew such bliss
Hours spent without care
were like fresh air
When the weather was fine
I spent my time
In adventure happy and free.

Friends Reflections
Valiant by the sea
when we ran young and free
Yes, in youth adorned
we would rise with the dawn
Yes, valiant we would be.

Recipe for Longevity
A year of quality sleep
to give myself that treat
To have a nourishing diet
and be eager to apply it
I'll have some healthy exercise
and try some new clothes out for size
Colors that will give me a lift
to suit me with a flattering fit
Remembering to be gracious
and refrain from being anxious
Mindful to have my rest
in Your Presence I am blessed
These are the things that I will do
to love myself like You want me to.

Hi, Baby Boomers!
I think I will go out for a walk in the Park
"Life be in it"__ I'll play my part
Life is not meant just for work
and endless chores that seem to lurk.
I'd like some refreshment
and less relentment
At the end of the day__
yes, that is the way
I'll go out to the beach
that would be a treat__
to walk by those shores
who could ask for more?
The Conquest of Time
that would be fine
There's things to ENJOY
I will start TODAY!

Fanciful Longevity
I'd be blessed if life were like this
such fantasy a reality__
That each year I would grow 5 years younger
These bonds of age to break asunder
My strength renewed to spring to my feet
To rest at night in perfect sleep__
to me these things would be a treat.
To plan my days and change my ways
Yes, I would be truly in bliss
if life were just like this.

Granny
Her smile can light up a room
Her presence is of grace
Her opinions are heard without one word
but by the look upon her face
Her touch is so gentle
Her heart as big as the moon
Her spirit is kindhearted
and warm as a summer's afternoon
Her hair a river of gray
Her eyes radiant as the sun
Her time she'll take no matter how long
until the work is done
Her kisses are so soft
Her hugs preferred from the rest
My granny is mine forever and ever
and she'll always be the best.

Grandma
Grandma, you were so sweet;
Like honey from a bee.
You always told me stories
As I sat there on your knee.
You always made me giggle
When I saw your smiling face.
You made my world such a special,
Happy, friendly place.

My Grandad
I can go to my Grandad who has weathered the storms
I can go to him who prefers normal to “the norm”
He always has wise words for me
and sometimes a different view of reality.
He may see it as growing pains
and tell me there is something to be gained.
He assures me sometimes that all is not lost
it’s just like the chill of the night or morning frost.
For then comes the sunshine with it’s warmth
so I should not feel upset or forlorn
Life has different seasons, don’t feel torn.
Look to the better moments in life
It lessons the feelings of hardship and strife.
Especially when we look to our Creator God
while walking on this earthly sod.
Yes he has words of wisdom for me
a nicer view of realities.
I can see the sparkle in his eyes
when he has for me a nice surprise.
I love my Grandad, he’s my friend
he’s never too busy, some time to lend.
