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 !

The Best Use of Your Time

There is no need to rhyme

Nor to dance, nor to sing;

The BEST use of your time

And to get in the swing

Of your AGE, is to be

Complete and true to

The ONE who all can see:

The most unique YOU !

How Best To Live

Even though it sounds and seems

Easy to have Age Esteem,

It takes a lot of practice, and

The common sense you have at hand.

You mustn’t look at outward signs

(like growing gray and forehead lines !)

It’s all about the inner you,

The spirit that you grow anew

In each and every brand new day –

How best to live along the way.

A Poem

A Poem

is at home

within 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!

Written by Alexandra Taylor for AgeEsteem®

Why?

Why is it that we are taught to think

That growing old is past the brink,

And that the rest is all down hill

Without a means to prove one’s will?

Age Esteem will return your pride

And put a ZIP into your stride

So each day try to do your best:

Aim for esteem, pizzazz and zest!

Satisfied

Just when you think that you’re all worn out,

Straighten up, stand strong, give a shout:

“Hooray for the day!

Come what may

I will greet it with joy and gratitude,

And a cheerful, confident attitude.”

I am alive and

Satisfied!

Esteemed

If ever I am feeling gloom

Enter in to my mental room,

I turn away and close that door

And think I should be happy for

My life and health and friends and love

And goodly spirits from above.

However bleak old age may seem

There’s still much joy to be ESTEEMed!

Shine Each Day!

Today I just lost my patience.

The saying is “she lost her cool”;

While caring for a patient!

I should have known the Golden Rule:

Do NOT fly off the handle

Always try to please…

Light your good natured candle

And shine each day with ease!

Eliminate And Esteem ate

If sometimes you’re not feeling great

Here are words to eliminate:

Sad and mad and old age fears,

Grim and dim and useless tears,

Down with frowns and joyless jeers,

Up into your highest gears!

Gauge your worth and gravitate

Towards what you most can ESTEEMate.

Written by Alexandra Taylor for AgeEsteem®

With Age Esteem you’re ready for

The Tricks and Treats at your front door;

Take off your mask of dread:  Be Bold!

Say “Boo” to the task of growing old.

Cornucopias and sweet rewards

Find those who are always looking towards,

All the years to come, and in between,

And never back to what might have been.
