A Lesson From Bubbles
A lesson from Bubbles
Can lessen your troubles
And blow away worries and cares.
Pain can come in puddles
Bristly and like stubble
And burst when you’re most unaware.
Take a lesson from Bonnie
Blow bubbles with harmony
Encircled by beauty and flair.

Go And Grow
If you walk a foot
Or go a mile,
It is nice to put
On a Big smile!
Mileage in both feet and years
Can reduce unwanted fears.
Move on with bright anticipation
Beneath sun or precipitation!
Actively you’ll go and grow,
Spending years in Life aglow!

Thank You
Thank you for the days I’ve had,
Thank you for the days to come;
Thank you when I have been glad,
Thank you for not staying glum.
Thank you for my gathering years,
Thank you for my heritage,
Thank you for diminished fears
I’m sure, I’m sane: I’m saxifrage*!

Using Age Esteem
Florida is the sunshine state,
Even when it rains!
We should shine and be as great,
Even with our pains.
Cheerfulness is so contagious,
Even through our woes.
Why not sometimes be outrageous
Then ALL trouble goes!
Clouds don’t always hide the sun,
It’s there and can be seen.
Your brighter days have just begun
While using Age Esteem.

The Road Less Traveled
The road less traveled is a favorite poem,
The rider is wondering which way to go home.
Difficult choices are hard to decide,
How to show outside, your feelings inside?
You think and feel youthful, but lines make you seem “old”,
You appear to be bashful, but really are bold.
Choose to be unique – and one of a kind,
Be cheerful, be lovely, display your fine mind!

One Of Those Days
Everybody has those days:
A kind of parting of the ways
When nothing seems to be all right –
You think you are a sorry sight
Wrinkles show, your waist is fat
What’s to like in all of that?
Shake your finger at those moods
Think of all your aptitudes!
You’re NOT a perfect “mixing bowl”
You ARE a one and unique soul.
So, smile and let that be your choice:
Revive, Restore, Relive, Rejoice!

Each Age Has Esteem
(A While-Walking Poem*)
We often hear of happy endings
They make our lives so well worthwhile;
Much nicer still are “happy durings”
They lead to one long lasting smile!
Why wait for bliss to come and find you
It’s NOW, TODAY, just look and glean!
The best to come is not behind you,
EACH age has so much to esteem.

*Alexandra often writes her poems on old envelopes and bits of paper found on her path while she walks.
Middle Age
Middle age, that’s how we can
Be somewhere in between.
Not young. Not old, the spectrum span!
And either way esteemed!
There is no age to attitudes,
You are the way you feel.
So down with ancient platitudes
And let your “age bells” peal!
Written by Alexandra Taylor for AgeEsteem®
Life’s Garden
Growing old (or growing young!)
The keywords are “to grow”.
Hum or sing the songs you sung
Those ageless years ago!
Growth of mind and spirits will
Enrich each precious day,
Plant life’s garden path until
You are your own bouquet.

Life’s Most Rewarding Age
Every time I start to dream
Of growing young, (as I have been),
I think how lucky I’m esteemed
For what I’ve learned since a young teen:
The Ups and Downs, it’s taken years
To comprehend and calm my fears!
I wasn’t wise when I was young,
It’s only now I’ve shed and wrung
Away the useless tears and rage
And live Life’s Most rewarding Age !
