The Doctor’s Advice

“You have brittle bones”

the doctor said,

(in very somber tones)

“but years ahead

to be a bit more positive

and optimistic every day,

you’ve verve and joy with which to live,

and Age Esteem along the way!”

It’s Tennis Time!

It’s Tennis Time

For one and all.

(I hope this rhyme

Is “on the ball”!)

Deuce or love or match or set,

Challenges are “on the Net;”

Played with lobs or stunning serves,

Be a winner, live with verve!

Some games are lost,

And others won.

This “ball” is tossed

For champions!

Courts are clay,

Or sometimes green,

But Your next play

Is Age Esteem.

Waiting In Line

Waiting in line,

Trying to rhyme,

Time’s going by,

Life’s on the fly!

Each minute counts

Anxiety mounts!

STOP!

Simmer down!

Unwrinkle those frowns,

Luck’s on your side¨

Pluck at your pride!

Treasure the day,

Measure each way

To stifle that sigh

And smile at the sky;

It’s time to have fun

“Here comes the sun!”

(Thank you Beatles)

Private Transformation

Public transportation:

A wonderful invention!

Private transformation

A marvelous prevention

For all the woe of aging. –

So try to strive for changing

The one you might have seemed

Were you not Age Esteemed!

On Your Way

Waiting at the station

For the next train to come,

Is an occupation

Which some would find quite glum.

But like all in Life, attending

For the next and brand new day,

You can be “on track” and mending

While you’re on your Merry Way!

Light Up With Age Esteem!

While watching fireworks in the night

(Like jewelry in the sky)

I think “Oh, what a lovely sight:

Those sparkling fireflies.”

You, too, can be aglow in Life

And shine, crackle and gleam;

Just rid yourself of any strife,

Light up with Age Esteem!

It’s Hard To Write A Poem

When you find yourself in Paradise

It’s hard to write a poem,

Where life is new and oh so nice

And very far from home!

To think in terms of making rhymes

Would turn you back to palms

And blooming jasmine climbing vines

Or when the ocean’s calm.

But there’s poetry in silence,

And symmetry in trees,

One can just walk in cadence

When you are overseas!

Growing Old With Age Esteem

One Key to Life

(as we are told)

Is aging best by growing old.

Growing wise and staying bright,

Being strong and showing might.

Spend your years by growing UP!

Fill to brim each daily “cup”!

Grow, not old but ageless, and

With Age Esteem you’ll be just grand!

Valentine, I Love You!

Valentine’s Day is coming up,

Get out your porcelain loving cup,

And plan to kiss the ones you love,

(While thanking all the stars above).

All the love poems have been written,

Every heart already smitten:

Loving words have all been said,

Roses still remain as Red;

Still, it’s nice to hear anew:

“Valentine, I do love You!

Do Not Think About The Past

“I do not think about the Past –

I had one but it didn’t last!”

Those words were said by Ogden Nash –

His poems all had a lot of dash!

They lasted ‘til our present times,

Every one with clever rhymes.

Our Past is past, so now we can

Concentrate on a Present plan

Of how to Age with great aplomb,

And Esteem ourselves for what’s to come!
