Turning 60

I woke up this morning And 60 was staring in my face I wondered out loud Can I continue on with grace I have lines and scars To prove all those 60 years So many, many memories With happy and sad tears I have had three kids Losing one, that God took I must say, living through that Gave my heart a raw look He's showed me that life Should not be taken at ease To always be kind to others And to never be mean or tease I found out what God had In store for me, to this date He gave me a sweet little dog And has given me my soul mate So whatever time I have left I'll take them all in stride Living each day to the fullest And I'll have God by my side 10-01-22 3:15 pm Saturday

You will be surprised at how quickly 60s become 70s become 80s, etc., so hang on! Aloha!

You're just getting started, Victoria! I'm 61, and I certainly hope that's true. The years get better and better, but they get faster and faster, so pay attention! :-) Enjoyed, thanks.
