Poem Artwork

Trying like thunder to hold onto
the forties, but like rain, it keeps
slipping through fingers bent by
 
arthritis.  Look in the mirror and
older eyes stare back:  who is
that?  Silver shoots through my

hair like lightning; the storms of
life are written on my face.  The
years are passing by in the winds

of time:  who'd have thought I'd
be 50 in three weeks?  AARP does:
got the application in the mail.  =]

(c) 2009, Karla Dorman (6/6)

hee, hee... My hubby will be fifty next year...and he is waiting with baited breath for my 40th birthday this fall. He finds it incredibly funny that I have taunted him for the past 10 years about how OLD people in their 40's are...(all in good nature of course...) and soon I will be among those oldies...
BUT, I have turned the tables on him! I have realized that those in their 40's are really only incredibly mature human beings and that those in their 50's are the ones that are old... present company excluded of course... hee, hee...

P.S. I mean no offense to anyone...it is just good natured teasing that goes back and forth between my husband and I. :~)

Tis a fact of life, yet in my mind it's hard to realize that 57 is just a few months away myself. In fact these last nine years seems to have been on hold for me. lol Good thoughts here. Lady J

Heck, Karla, you're still in your youth compared to me. Enjoy every one of those birthdays and the more you have the better. If I miss your birthday in three weeks, here's an early cheer for you: HAPPY BIRTHDAY, KARLA.

Karla, fifty, pishaww!! Now the days, weeks, months and years will chug by faster than an AmTrack train. Now things that seemed vitally important to you may not seem quite as important. Keep doing the things you know you should keep doing healthwise and you'll zip through your fifties as a breeze.
Happy wind blowing, cloud scattering birthday to you. Mark

Happy birthday young lady
that storm you just mentioned
for me its a hurricane that is stading stationary
over me, if my hair was a forest,
it has devasted it a long time ago
not allowing mr to wonder about the silver streaks in my hiar....
Happy coming soon birthday Karla
