Older People
God, I love older people; They grew up in the days of black and white When wrong was wrong, and right was right When you never had to worry about finding them on Sunday morning They would be with their sons and daughters in pew number three But now this modern world has us feeling […]
Sitting on the edge of a new life
Breaking the age code As we grow older we should bemoan the urge to become frustrated and complain; rather than live with joy, because there is no choice but to see everyday nuisances as something to make our lives richer.
