Letting go
The ropes that keep us
Tied to life-long habitudes
Live as though
you’re free and fearless
To face each day’s vicissitudes.

Written for Age Esteem by Alexandra Taylor after the chapter “Letting Go”
in AgeEsteem: Growing A Positive Attitude Toward Aging
by Bonnie Lou Fatio

Bubbles and Kisses!
The ones float away
The others might miss us,
But each in its way
Is Life’s miraculousness
making special each day.

Written for Age Esteem by Alexandra Taylor after the story “Bubbles and Kisses”
in AgeEsteem: Growing A Positive Attitude Toward Aging, book and CD
by Bonnie Lou Fatio

Regard less yearly aging
Regard more, and then esteem
The Joys of Life, and be engaging
in Fulfilling your own dreams.

Written for Age Esteem by Alexandra Taylor

UP with growing older
Let your spirit soar,
Every day you’ll be much bolder
And wiser than before.

Written for Age Esteem by Alexandra Taylor

Monday, Sunday, Friday, Saturday
Every day an even better day.
Shuffle through the leaves of Time,
Celebrate your age, and climb
Each moment to it’s highest measure
Thankful for the slightest pleasure.

Sunday, Monday, Friday, Saturday
Every day an even better day.
Learn and grow through gathering years
Esteem your age and calm your fears
Read your heart and speak your spirit,
Truth is the world as how you see it.
