Forty Body Talk

My mind does not feel forty.

My skin has a healthy glow.
My eyes are happy and kind.
But my hair has begun to thin,
My front has begun to sag.
My middle has a spare tire, which cries out, LIAR!

The junk in my trunk has sunk.

My back is on the attack.
My hips and knees beg me, PLEASE!
My feet and toes try to take up the slack.
But my life is full of laughter.
My heart is full of love, now and ever after.

My mind does not feel forty!

Author notes

I recently hit this milestone birthday. And was in a bit of a sour mood the other day. When this came to me.

    Ok maybe not but hey all you need to keep young is having laughter in our lives and a great great heart like this!

    as long as you remain young at heart with knowing and wisdom over the little ...wanna say...whor...ok not nice but the younger bunches with perkiness...then you will be far beyond the sexiness they can ever comprehend.
