The joy of aging!
JournaL Feel the Drag The world is moving faster And I, am moving slower *…feel the drag.* The other day I heard the strains of an old Stones Song I used to love *…what a drag it is, getting old…* Now, I gave pause to ponder the profundity of those words… I was but a young and perky chicklet when The Brits invaded Then prevailed upon, American shores. A gum-snapping foot-tapping teeny-bopper of a fan! Having absolutely no idea of what they were really talking about I had purposed in my heart Then and there, NOT ME! *…I would never be a drag!* So here I am At 62 And while I am No fuddy-duddy, I am slow…er. Recently I grew concerned anew When I heard Those Beatles implore, "Will you still need me, will you still feed me… when I'm 64?"! Yikes! But yes, it brought a smile to my face Too. For now, I know That I am actually Ageless! And that, I Yes, I Shall live Forever! For I am a Child of the Living God and in Him Is, my eternal Life! So while this old bod might snap and pop just from my own Standing up *…and I can feel the drag* *My spirit-woman* is Being renewed daily And she rises on Eagle's wings… So that even when I do feel the drag… The old heart? *well, she* still sings!** For in Him we live and move and have our being.' As some of your own poets have said, 'We are His offspring.' - Acts 17:28 © 2/21/2114 Rhonda S. Galizia, Scribe Unto The LORD International Copyright All Rights Reserved By Law.

Yes, I'm slower as I age also, aging mightily fast too. This says lots to me, and I believe all of it.

Good to hear from the young ones, but you have been gone so long and I have missed your endearing poetry. The Beatles were a blip in my hectic life, but not so in many million others. I loved the message they brought in their poetic music.

Those old guys, Mick Jagger and Paul McCartney, are still around and singing their hearts out. "When I'm 64" went by in a heartbeat.
