Golden is the age in which nothing’s gonna freeze, if I don’t end my requests with that magic word “Please,” or if I’m the subject of focus and I don’t mouth the word, “Cheese” or I offer a handshake that’ll shake and then squeeze. ---- I no longer look at living like it’s just a piece of cake, it still makes a lot of difference which steps I’m gonna take, there’s much stuff to do and more things to make, but just give me a moment, it‘s time to take a break.. ---- I won’t hustle and stumble and try to tie up loose flopping ends, until I’ve decided what message that sends, I think the whole lot of it really, sincerely depends, am I among strangers or are all these my friends. ---- Well, thank you for listening, thank you a lot, I can‘t listen like you do without saying what, but it’s important to me believe it or not, to have you help me remember what my forgetter forgot!
Yes, golden is the age where there’s aid for my ills, I can take smaller steps and a gallon of pills, I can look for my glasses while wiping up spills, and use a walking stick to challenge life’s hills. ---- I once gave some moneys to a slick talking man, to fund some kind of a smart retirement plan. What part was the smart is what I don‘t understand, the balance could easily be sealed in a can.---- But golden is the age when the twinkle in the eyes, the shadows under shade trees and the stars up in the skies, will confirm that it holds a secret which is simply no surprise, that golden is the age where most of our world’s wisdom lies!
Meanwhile I’ll keep coaxing my treadmill powered scooter uphill!
