1. Getting older is a blessing;
I hope you will agree,
for many things get easier
I think that you will see.
When you are young you worry
if you're handsome or you're fit.
When older though you so enjoy
to just RELAX and sit.
It gives you time to meditate
on what life truly means.
You now enjoy the once sought hope
and joy of all your dreams.
2. The little things in life
seem more important now it's true,
and you can relish each and every
one you choose to do.
When younger we so often
let them fly by easily,
in search of things so lofty,
that we never feel free.
In youth we fear that getting old
will bring unwanted pain,
but counting daily BLESSINGS
makes us youthful once again.
3. People may complain that now
they cannot walk as fast,
but there are some advantages
in reaching places last.
For one thing you don't have to fight
the crowds in front of you.
And second, slowing down
helps you to have a brighter view.
It gives you time to smell the roses
slowly as you pass,
APPRECIATING underfoot
the feel of soft warm grass.
4. Your health will get much better,
with your blood pressure down low,
so you can smile SERENELY
everywhere that you may go.
Our eyesight might diminish,
but there's some good in that too,
for we'll look younger to ourselves,
and in each other's view.
We may not feel we have as much
productive time today,
but this will give us time
to brighten someone else's day.
5. Even just a phone call or a smile
can bring such HOPE
to other people finding it
so difficult to cope.
Sending lovely cards and notes
bring beauty to a friend
who might be very lonely
and on others must depend.
But don't forget to spend time
on yourself too every day
to brighten up your life and make
the sun shine on your way.
For getting older is a blessing
if you truly show
the world that life's worth living,
whether you are young of old!
