Last night
My weary bones
Were aching
But after showering
I figured the risk
Was worth taking
I got into the car
And drove
My youngest son
To a bowling alley
Where his big brothers
Were having their fun
Guitars were
Plugged in and lights
Were blinking
We watched and listened
It got me thinking
At fifty I get tired
But listening to them rock
Made me feel fifteen
And not too old to sock
Those blues away that
Come with growing older
Rock and Roll, yeah baby
This older Mom is gettin'
Bolder...
-Pink hair,next????... ya think????

What superwoman doesn't realize is that she is the primary reason why I do what I do. My mom's relentless pursuit of her dreams is enough to inspire the masses. Thanks Mom for the world that you have given me and the loving light that lets me know that everything's going to be alright. ~Your loving son
yes, we should enjoy as long as we can during our life span Lynn, and hello. Nice inspiring piece. Glad you had a good time. I'm 53 and feeling it too at times.I just wrote a poem called be thankful. hugs G
Nice, fun write. Glad you had a ball. Good idea to check a day later to see if the feeling is still there before doing the pink hair. LOL
Best regards,
