Be My Valentine
There is no better way
Than Saint Valentine’s Day
To remember that Love’s not a Dream.
If you’re young or you’re old
It’s so nice to be told
You are special and highly esteemed!
Written by Alexandra Taylor for AgeEsteem®
The ever Saintly Valentine
Is a special friend of mine;
He has the gifts which come with time
(the ones which are so hard to rhyme!)
Such thoughtfulness and love and care,
And generosity to spare.
He’s ageless and esteemed the way
He keeps hearts full on his own day.
I always feel so very merry
On that date in February!

It’s a New Year
And a New You,
Let us all cheer
For our New View
Of this Life and its Age Esteem
Fulfilling every newest dream.
Written by Alexandra Taylor for AgeEsteem®
Two Thousand and Twelve,
Imagine! It’s here!
The start of another
Wonderful year.
Make resolutions and
Make them to last;
Live in the Present,
Inspired by the Past.
Growing old is not as bad as it seems;
Model each day by the book Age Esteem!

The Best Days For Living
If you esteem others’ age, and your own,
Your Life’s meaning will have gracefully grown!
You will make every moment a specialty feat
And you’ll take time to froment each day as a treat.
Why linger on aging? Think, it’s bound to become.
The best days for Living, for Loving, for fun!
Written by Alexandra Taylor for AgeEsteem.
YES!
All you need to do is think ahead;
Turn your thoughts away from gloom and dread.
Every time you rise up out of bed,
Follow Age Esteem’s path with every tread.
Don’t say “No, I can’t”, say “YES, I will!” instead.

Age Esteem
A Poem
is at home
with in your heart.
A Verse
(even terse)
is an art.
A Rhyme,
every time,
would be smart.
Age Esteem
is to deem (like a dream)
a good start!

Growing Old
Why is it that one seems to think
That growing old is past the brink,
And that the rest is all down hill
Without a way to win one’s will?
Age Esteem will return one’s pride
And put a ZIP into your stride
So each day try to do your best:
Aim for Perfection, and with Zest!
