Take It From Me

You might as well take
it from me, because almost
everyone else has done so.
Now, at a vaulted age,
whatever the hell that is,
I am well experienced in
most things not likely to
happen again in a lifetime,
so I'm qualified to hand out
advice on any problem at all.
Please be kind and gentle with
your expectations, however,
since a vintage life span has
taken some choice memories.
Don't write me off too soon
before my guaranteed 50,000
more miles are all used up.
At a slower pace there's no
telling the places and events
we will be visiting together.


F William Broome 2009

Sobering and also humorous.
Respect should be doled out liberally to thee oh venerated one.
And there is no way that you are vaulted in context to being bald.
I would however go for jumping over or leaping across an obstacle as the hidden meaning in that phrase.

In faith pressing forward against all obstacles.
Blessings ...

As my aunt said 'Don't rush me to the finish line.. I'll get there when I need to because it doesn't pay to get there early' LOL Can you tell I loved my aunt? She would have loved this and probably shouted an AMEN!
