It Is Never, Ever Too Late
Get well wishes
Are welcome words indeed,
They sound almost delicious
And satisfy your needs.
How swell to be remembered
With cards and plants and food,
Cheer dwells in one’s heart chambers
And quells more somber moods.
Fare thee well oh injured “mal-mate”,
Go on a mending spree!
It is never, ever too late
To be well as well can be.

The Doctor’s Advice
“You have brittle bones”
the doctor said,
(in very somber tones)
“but years ahead
to be a bit more positive
and optimistic every day,
you’ve verve and joy with which to live,
and Age Esteem along the way!”

It Could Be Worse!
When I fell and broke my knee
I asked “WHAT will become of me?”
I thought “Oh Woe”, but suddenly
I stopped my being sullenly
And pity-ingly … when solemnly
I turned for help in rhym-ed verse
And knew that it could be MUCH WORSE!

It’s Tennis Time!
It’s Tennis Time
For one and all.
(I hope this rhyme
Is “on the ball”!)
Deuce or love or match or set,
Challenges are “on the Net;”
Played with lobs or stunning serves,
Be a winner, live with verve!
Some games are lost,
And others won.
This “ball” is tossed
For champions!
Courts are clay,
Or sometimes green,
But Your next play
Is Age Esteem.

Waiting In Line
Waiting in line,
Trying to rhyme,
Time’s going by,
Life’s on the fly!
Each minute counts
Anxiety mounts!
STOP!
Simmer down!
Unwrinkle those frowns,
Luck’s on your side¨
Pluck at your pride!
Treasure the day,
Measure each way
To stifle that sigh
And smile at the sky;
It’s time to have fun
“Here comes the sun!”
(Thank you Beatles)

Private Transformation
Public transportation:
A wonderful invention!
Private transformation
A marvelous prevention
For all the woe of aging. –
So try to strive for changing
The one you might have seemed
Were you not Age Esteemed!

On Your Way
Waiting at the station
For the next train to come,
Is an occupation
Which some would find quite glum.
But like all in Life, attending
For the next and brand new day,
You can be “on track” and mending
While you’re on your Merry Way!

Light Up With Age Esteem!
While watching fireworks in the night
(Like jewelry in the sky)
I think “Oh, what a lovely sight:
Those sparkling fireflies.”
You, too, can be aglow in Life
And shine, crackle and gleam;
Just rid yourself of any strife,
Light up with Age Esteem!

It’s Hard To Write A Poem
When you find yourself in Paradise
It’s hard to write a poem,
Where life is new and oh so nice
And very far from home!
To think in terms of making rhymes
Would turn you back to palms
And blooming jasmine climbing vines
Or when the ocean’s calm.
But there’s poetry in silence,
And symmetry in trees,
One can just walk in cadence
When you are overseas!

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!
