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!

A Pedigree*
A Pedigree
You would agree
Sounds something good to have.
Horses have it,
So do dogs,
As well as Heifer calves.
We all have “pedigreements”
Superior and grand.
Just try ESTEEMent good sense
And wave an ageless hand.

* When a friend was visiting us for three weeks in Geneva, Switzerland she was invited to many of the events we attended. Rather than try to translate when people spoke about who was related to whom and how they were related, which is a favorite conversation among the Genevois, I would simply say “pedigree”. Thus the theme of Alexandra Taylor’s poem. – Bonnie Fatio
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!

Charismatic With Age Esteem
Charismatic: there’s a word
Of how you ought to be:
Charming with a talent toward
A great philosophy!
Upbeat and with an ageless smile,
Discrete and sweet, and all the while
Remembering that you’re unique:
One of a kind and at your peak
Whenever you achieve a dream,
While practicing your Age Esteem!

A Person With Style!
Wow! There is a person with style!
Her presence makes everyone smile!
She’s as young as she seems
Filled with ageless esteem,
Her life is a journey worthwhile.
All it takes is a mind set for joy.
It will come, and you’ll feel, well, Oh, Boy!
“Why didn’t I show
My most inner glow
And appeal, instead of annoy?”

Ageless is a kindly word,
“She’s Ageless,” one has sometimes heard,
It’s nice for when you often seem
To lose your sense of self esteem.
Cheer up! And don’t think OLD is bad,
Time is what you have, and had.
There’s more to learn, and joy to come,
And ageless ways to have some fun!

Middle Age can be any age
Between the start and final ending.
It’s when you can turn back the page
And learn the many ways for mending
Some of the follies of your youth;
You’ll know what’s best ‘tween right and wrong.
The middle’s when you glean the truth
And be merry like an ageless song!

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!
