Savor Your Uniqueness
Why do we care about hair?
It’s ours and it’s us and it’s there!
We fuss if it’s straight, if it’s curly, we hate
To look furly, but it’s
Our “atmosphair”!
We often just wish we could change:
Our old clothes? A new nose?
It’s so strange.
It is best to just be our own selves,
Where our soul and uniqueness both delve;
There are no two “us” in the world –
Let’s keep floating free and unfurled!

Row, Row, Row Your Boat
Row, row, row your boat
Calmly up each stream.
Cheerfully, fearlessly, stay afloat,
Alive with Age Esteem.
Grow, grow, grow your roots
Deeply, with each dream,
Brightly, mightily do what suits
Yourself, with Age Esteem!

Emboldened By Age
Spring is the thing we
Should do as we walk.
Sing is to ring with our
Voice when we talk.
Sun is but one of our
Lights in the sky,
Fun’s how to come forth and
Feel satisfied.
Play is the way to find words
With your mind.
Display and relay good moods
And be kind!
Dreams are like reams of
Each Life’s daily page,
Esteem should be seen as
Emboldened by age.

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!

Jubilee, Oh Jubilee
Jubilee, oh Jubilee
I hope your glee rubs
Off on me.
A state in which I’d like to be:
Jubilant with Jollity
(Even at my age: Eighty!).
It all depends on attitudes
Not straight laced with platitudes,
And furrowed brows
And unused vows,
But simple ways to Reign Supreme
Like a Queen – with Age Esteem.

The Key To Life
The Key to Life is at your door,
Unlock its goals forever more.
All barriers are useless for
Your spirit when its time to soar.
Display your talents every day,
“RisKey” but a way to say:
“I’m special” and “Oh! Look at me!”
Embrace your Life, and that’s the Key!

Summer Age Esteem
Heat and Sweat are summer names
Pronounced apart, but spelled the same.
When it’s hot the sun just beams,
Showing it has Age Esteem!
It is much better to perspire
Than let your spirits all expire.
So sweat and glow
And heat your soul!
And never let your fire tire!

Choices
Choices are so hard for me:
What to do? And what to see?
What to drink? And what to eat?
How to think and who to meet;
When to speak and what to say?
When to work and when to play?
I do know that it’s, as they say,
Better to let come what may!
And, besides, those questions seem
To solve themselves, with Age Esteem!

Time Is Running By
Time is running by so fast
Now it’s Now, and then it’s past!
Soon it’s going to be tomorrow,
Time is something you can’t borrow –
It is a gift: a daily “present”!
Open it and become resplendent.
Day by day you are a beam:
Light and bright with Age Esteem.

Merry, Merry
Merry, merry’s NOT contrary,
But how to feel most days.
Cheery, cheery’s far from dreary
As you went your ways.
Upbeat, upbeat, tap your two feet,
And swing your life in tune.
Repeat, repeat: “Life’s a great treat,”
It’s over much too soon.
