Oldness Thoughts-2007

 One day when I finally wrinkle

My green eyes lose their twinkle

All my loved ones have passed away

My pretty hair has turned to grey

I will think of all the precious things

That made my life worthwhile:

Honeysuckle on a spring day

Rain upon my roof

My children laughing at my "Oldness"

Dancing before the Lord

Lessons learned from my Mom

Advice from my Dad

Hugs from all the precious children I have taught

A good cry, a long goodbye, a "I loved you first to my kids"

A good chick flick that makes me cry

The Tilt a Whirl

Driving down the road singing songs with family

My pillow

My dog

Many other things I could say,

But it would take all day

I think I will think of these things throughout my day today.

So I don't have to wait till I turn grey
