Nature’s Clever Scheme
Our lives are just like seasons
Ever changing and renewed,
We age for many reasons,
There’s no time to fret or brood!
We Spring first towards Summer’s suns
Then Fall forth ‘till Winter comes.
Think of Nature’s clever scheme
When you practice AGE ESTEEM!

Life Is A Patchwork
Life is a patchwork, full of seams,
Stitched together by Age Esteem!
Sewn and gowned with bolts of Time
Hemmed and mended (like this rhyme!).
If this pattern’s good to the end
I’d design it for all my friends!

How You Dream
All life should be a Palm Beach
With perpetual sunshine,
Where goals are all within reach
And high spirits are so fine.
The Palm fronds would be waving,
The sea an azure blue,
Every picture worth saving
Therein the wisest clue:
The you can be eternal
It’s in how you dream…
In summer, spring, hibernal
You’ll have high AgeEsteem.

Sowing Happiness of Age Esteem
Hurrying is worrying if you don’t
Take time to live!
Living means giving every moment
A kind of “sieve”:
Sifting our bad habits which make
Old age a chore,
Lifting up your spirits and spreading
Joy galore –
Growing ever brighter and with
Shining inner beams –
Sowing seeds of happiness
Through your Age Esteem.

Let Your Inner Garden Grow
Be Merry Merry
Not Contrary
Let your inner garden grow.
Be very VERY
Sure to carry
Your flowering buds aglow.
With verbal blooms
In friendly rooms
And bouquets bright as beams.
Dig out the weeds
Of old age needs
And plant your new esteem!

Life’s Stitches
I am much older but it seems
I feel better (bolder) through Age Esteem –
Going on with hope and daring,
Holding on to friends by caring.
If this continues to the end
All of Life’s stitches I would mend
And I’d have sewn my ragged days
Into patchworked finer ways!

Palm Beach
It’s lovely here in Palm Beach,
There’s so much sun to share!
The sky is just beyond reach,
Beauty’s bounty’s everywhere!
Hibiscus is resplendent,
There are parrots in the trees,
Everyone is wearing white pants
And walking like a breeze.
I think I’ll call it Poem Beach
Where people blend and mingle,
Esteeming there’s no age breach
A tropical Life jingle!

Martin Luther King 2014
And along came Martin Luther King
The one whom to the whole world would bring:
Courage and hope and his ultimate dream:
Singular, spectacular, ageless esteem.
King had dreams and he knew
They really can come true
Depending on YOU.
Now’s the time: start anew!

When You Wake Up
When you wake up in the morning
And the new day is just dawning,
Instead of wasting time by yawning
Decide that it is time to try
To keep your mind from going dry:
(There still are so many fish to fry!)
So up you go, and start by smiling
At whoever’s phone you’re dialing
(It’s NOT hard to be beguiling!)
Life is like a flowing stream
Rippling days with Age Esteem!

Happy Alone
I have a small magnet “poem”
On the wall of my kitchen:
“To be happy at home
Is the ultimate ambition!”
The message relayed is to be happy alone
Even if your family and friends have all gone.
Life is so filled with activities:
Holidays, Birthday, Festivities…
But they only play just a part of the goal,
The best thing to turn to is your inner soul!
