Ah Well


Poem Artwork

On a beautiful day like today,

Fall colors still abound.


Sunshine warming the ground.


Grandchildren playing,


Grandparents saying,


Where do they get all that energy?


Feeling just a little blue,


Seems like only yesterday,


I had that much energy too.

**smile** you DO have that much energy, Walt, you just don't 'waste it' in running in circles for hours - you use yours to compose beautiful poems. How great is that!!

Don't be blue. Get up, go out and about, something will change and happen to you.

I wish I had their energy level, too. It's a real life bummer as we begin to slow down, but better to be slow than stopped. Often, I wish for the same - more energy, better health.

God bless you. Kathy

Lovely picture of beautiful children. I suppose grandchildren do tire aging grandparents, but they love every minute they spend with them.

Time does pass by ever so swiftly...It only seems a short few years ago that I was the one running, enjoying the wonderful life of a child, then before I knew what had happened I was watching my children, now my grandchildren...where does life go? Your write serves as a reminder that we should cherish each and every moment that we are given. Well done, enjoyed!
Happy Holidays,
Joyce B.

LOL Boy, howdy, do I know THIS all too well. If I could just bottle a fraction of the energy kids have today, I'd be rich, we'd all be skinny, we'd all have boundless enthusiasm to tackle whatever comes our way...siiggghhhh. LOL Well done.

For a man who rides his bike 20 + miles a day I'd say you have an abundance of energy. Kids are natural turbines.

Take a long walk in the park,
Tell a real funny joke or two,
Play with those energetic grandkids,
And you'll soon get rid of those blues.
