Attaining The Golden Years (poem) by Mary Grace Patterson on AuthorsDen

Reviewed on October 6, 2013

Now, at age 80, I'm more excited than ever to greet each new day.
As soon as our national economy recovers, I'm gonna cash in all that gold they say I've accumulated in my senior years and head for a casino. Hope I don't sleep through the event.

Like they say, you are as young as you feel and your sense of humor is intact. That is a huge part of staying young. Patrick

MaryGrace;

I like this piece. Two of the most important things in the world, is to remain young at heart; and to take pleasure in the little things in life. I think we're all too busy acquiring a materialistic junk yard, that we'll all have to get rid of sooner or later. And, then we think it's not worth what we think it was worth. Living life to the fullest is important, too.

Such an honest write, MaryGrace,
straight and true on how things are
and i hear and feel and know every line
and thought;
don't forget the pre-nap naps, they're the business!
Take care and stay strong, Golden Girl.
