Very descriptive of how we "elders" feel (you're not there yet :o) - I still dance a lot, even if to my own tunes...LOL

I believe that everyone has a spiritual age that never changes, we just pass it once during our physical years.

Hell, Karla, I'm already out here - over on the swing - taking my rocket ride to the moon, then dipping into the surf of a new ocean of discovery.

You've captured a promise that you will keep - a deserving young lady. This is truly a sweet and tasty write. - Bill

Someone who thinks and writes like you can't grow old, impossible!;-)
Remember Karla, age is only counted in this realm, in others there is none, that's why I gave up thinking in age terms long ago. I'm ageless;-) So are you it's all a matter of relativity and knowing you'll live forever!Great poem!

yeah for sure sis...meet ya at the merry-go-round (giggles). I love the jungle gym, and the slide, and the hopscotch frame. I love jumping rope and giggling with my girl friends. I love life, but I swear it to be true, that life doesn't like me. It tears me up, and spits me out, only to chew me up again. Sis I am moving this weekend. I am moving with my second oldest daughter, in Shawano, Wisconsin. That's 152 miles from here, in northern Wisconsin. About 30 minutes from Green Bay. May the Lord Jesus bless you and yours, and be with you always, and at your side constantly. With much love inmy heart, joy to the world, peace on earth, & ((((((((((MANY SISTERLY HUGGGGSSSS)))))))))), your little sister, Barbie

Idea Of Growen Old Is Not To Think Old But To Think Youth,i.e. I Somehow Made It To 18 Never Got Past 23_

Do Not Celebrate Birthdays People Who Do (Proven) You Grow Older That Much Faster,i.e. I Could Care Less What OLDER (ASSHOLES) People Think When I Pull Up In My Bad Ass Corvette--THEY WISH-THEY WISH They Owned Had It!

Younger You Think With Your Mind Not Your BRAIN--You Will have Less Pain,Anguish,Suffering---- Simply Because You Were Thinken OLD!

Nice thoughts about approaching age. I hope that you are able to live up to your predictions. Sometimes like treats us harsher than we expect and our plans have to be adjusted.
