When I Grow Up by Mary Ann Hoberman
When I grow up, I want to be A grown-up who remembers me And what it felt like to be small: How much I liked to bounce a ball And pump my swing high in the air And think of flying everywhere. How scared I was of cats and doors that creak Or being it in hide-and-seek Or if my parents had a fight Or when I had bad dreams at night. How much I hated loud machines And slimy worms and lima beans. What fun it was to dig a hole, To make a cake and lick the bowl, To ride my bike all afternoon, To plan on going to the moon, To find an egg inside a nest And have my best friend like me best.
Humorous look at aging
A Note to My Irreverent Children©2008 by Susan Noyes Anderson
Count me as old as the mountains. Count me as old as the trees. But promise me you won't start counting rings around my knees!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
God grant me the Senility to forget the people I never liked anyway,the good fortune to run into the ones I do, and the eyesight to tell the difference. Now that I am older, here's what I have discovered: I started out with nothing, & I still have most of it. My wild oats have turned into prunes and All Bran. I finally got my head together,now my body is falling apart. Funny, I don't remember being absent minded, isn't it? It is easier to get older than it is to get wiser. Some days you're the dog; some days you're the hydrant. Kids in the back seat cause accidents. Accidents in the back seat- cause kids! I wish the buck stopped here; I sure could use a few. . . It's hard to make a comeback when you haven't been anywhere. Only time the world beats a path to your door is when you're in the bathroom. If God wanted me to touch my toes,he would have put them on my knees. When I'm finally holding all the cards,why does everyone decide to play chess? It's not hard to meet expenses...they're everywhere. The only difference between a rut and a grave is the depth. These days I spend a lot of time thinking about the hereafter... I go somewhere to get something & then wonder what I'm here after!
