Your Life’s Book
Age Esteem
(This poem’s theme)
Begins at any age.
It’s how to be
Yourself and see
Your Life’s Book page by page
Chapter one
(Already done!)
The Volume grows with Time.
Chapter Three
Begins with glee
Esteemic, like this rhyme.
Chapter Five
You’re still alive
And confident, at last!
Chapter Twelve
It dips and delves
With lessons from the Past.
Chapter Twenty
There’s a-plenty
Pages still in Reams.
The end remains in formament
Rewarded and Esteemed.

Esteem At Every Age
LIFE is a little like these rhymes:
It doesn’t “jingle” all the time!
You need to stop and try to find
The LYRICAL within your mind.
POETRY is a way to say
“Ah ha”, there is another way
For making every age to seem
So VERSEatile and so esteemed!
Start with A and go to E
It really works…just try and see!

Middle Age
Middle age, that’s how we can
Be somewhere in between.
Not young. Not old, the spectrum span!
And either way esteemed!
There is no age to attitudes,
You are the way you feel.
So down with ancient platitudes
And let your “age bells” peal!

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!

Be My Valentine
There is no better way
Than Saint Valentine’s Day
To remember that Love’s not a Dream.
If you’re young or you’re old
It’s so nice to be told
You are special and highly esteemed!

Saint Valentine
The ever Saintly Valentine
Is a special friend of mine;
He has the gifts which come with time
(the ones which are so hard to rhyme!)
Such thoughtfulness and love and care,
And generosity to spare.
He’s ageless and esteemed the way
He keeps hearts full on his own day.
I always feel so very merry
On that date in February!
