A young man tried to tell me age didn't make any difference.


Poem Artwork

At age 20 you're still
figuring the world out.
At age 50 you'd better
know what it's about.
That is if you
live that long.
If you do,
you'll either
be weak or strong.


The bottom will
abuse you,
The top will,
amuse you.
You won't
be amused,
on the bottom
being abused.


If you don't
power up,
your mind will
sour abrupt.
The weaker
you get,
the more
your regret.
On the ground
you'll lay,
untill life sweeps
you away.


G

I agree with Ed: Age has nothing to do with learning. Learning is a lifetime thing, it's not just for the young. At my age, I'm still learning everyday.

Just because there is snow on the roof doesn't mean there is fire in the furnace. Age does not always mean wisdom, for I have learned A LOT from my children.

I'd like to think I know what it's about since I'm way over 50; but I still like learning new things every day.

I am 50 and have not been yet swept...but with technology as it is today, I think they might vacuum me, rather than sweep me...Ed

At 54, I still have a lot of questions, but I certainly have learned how to take what life sends my way, in my stride. I am not sure we ever really understand it all, but I do think that way we handle it becomes more skillful and less stressful.
Take care,
Sherry
