Yesterdays.....

[Jennet]

We jumped from swings
We banged our knees
We jumped in sand pits
We climbed the trees
We stamped in puddles
Played in dirt
Mum kissed it better
If we were hurt
We scrumped for fruit
Played out all day
We knocked on doors
And we ran away
Now we are older
Struggle up the stairs
Wear our soft slippers
And relax in our chairs
Playtime still calls us
Where shall we start
We may now be older
But still young at heart

 

[Back in the fold]

I’m closer to 71 than 70 and I’m loving this stage of life . I don’t have to go to work or school and I can go outside and play whenever I want . The other old folks like me are a gas ! We’re kids again but in different bodies . Think about it . When you were a kid were there things you couldn’t do ? Yes there were and there are now but with time and practice you can do them . This time of life is a weird Benjamin Button reversal of life and I’m a kid again . I have my fish just like then too and The Great TFF Forum will have to suffice as my old Billings Aquarium Society . Got my bike and my rockets too . Life is good !
