We can still have some fun, can't we...?

Is a time to reflect, To praise God & genuflect, To still have a modicum of fun, So go the heck out and have yourself some… Memories are sometimes bitter, Some they can make us become all a flitter, But from memories we do of ourselves learn, But learn to enjoy, try not to become stern… They say we are in our golden years, Shed we have & will do again tears, We need to live for the present, For this time is not given to some, This time is, I think, heaven sent… © -ed- 6/7/15

Wasn't it Rodney King that said, "Can't we all just have a little [fun]?"

Can't see why we don't while the sun still shines and we can still get off our behinds.

It's nice to see you write a more upbeat piece of work. Memories are always nice, and you have many for these golden years.

Living for the present, while honoring the past, is a very good way to live.

Getting older, Ed, gives us pause to reflect and hopefully use that reflection to learn from our mistakes and treat our fellow man with reverence.
