Thanksgiving
Come, Dear Friends, let’s feast together;
Thanksgiving Day is almost here.
Don your coats, we’ll face “fowl” weather
At this special time of year.
There’s no end to our Thanksgiving;
Thanks for friendships which remain;
Thanks for seasons, all things living
Thanks for when you’ll come again.

Leaving
Leaving need NOT be grieving
It could be just farewell!
Believing you’ll be seeing
Family; friends : that’s swell!
One door shuts, another opens –
Ring each and every bell.
First you’re going, then you’re coming
Only Time will tell.
Thinking that the Best is still to come,
Life’s not always what it seems.
It depends on “where you’re coming from”,
And learning how to AgeEsteem.

Rain, Rain Please Stay!
Rain, Rain don’t go away,
Stay and sprinkle on our day!
It is NOT always funny
To have it HOT and sunny.
So, even though our shoes get damp,
And our hair “shades” like a lamp’s,
We can sparkle in a shower,
Moisturized like some rare flower!
Rain, Rain, please rain awhile,
It will moisten up my smile,
Glisten all my radiant beams
And lubricate my Age Esteem!

Train Your Brain
Train your brain to make the most
Of Life, and even try to boast
About the talents you have shown –
The ones unique to you alone.
Train your brain and Lo and Behold
You’ll never think you’re growing old.
Think Young, and very soon you’ll seem
To exemplify Age Esteem!

Write A Letter
It will make you feel better
If you write a nice letter
To a friend or the friends of your choice
They will love snail or e-mail
(and with or without detail)
Just to “hear”, by your words, your own voice.
So put down the pages
Your feelings, in stages,
Reveal the Real YOU, and Rejoice

Time Goes By
Time goes by with timeless speed,
Helping to fulfill each need.
Gratefully we try to be
Kind and true, in harmony
With our gifts and specialness
Holding on to youthfulness!
Fill your time with vim-like steam
Bubbling out with Age Esteem

A Lesson From Bubbles
A lesson from Bubbles
Can lessen your troubles
And blow away worries and cares.
Pain can come in puddles
Bristly and like stubble
And burst when you’re most unaware.
Take a lesson from Bonnie
Blow bubbles with harmony
Encircled by beauty and flair.

Go And Grow
If you walk a foot
Or go a mile,
It is nice to put
On a Big smile!
Mileage in both feet and years
Can reduce unwanted fears.
Move on with bright anticipation
Beneath sun or precipitation!
Actively you’ll go and grow,
Spending years in Life aglow!

Thank You
Thank you for the days I’ve had,
Thank you for the days to come;
Thank you when I have been glad,
Thank you for not staying glum.
Thank you for my gathering years,
Thank you for my heritage,
Thank you for diminished fears
I’m sure, I’m sane: I’m saxifrage*!

*An esteemed new word for the AgeEsteem blog.
Using Age Esteem
Florida is the sunshine state,
Even when it rains!
We should shine and be as great,
Even with our pains.
Cheerfulness is so contagious,
Even through our woes.
Why not sometimes be outrageous
Then ALL trouble goes!
Clouds don’t always hide the sun,
It’s there and can be seen.
Your brighter days have just begun
While using Age Esteem.
