Thank you for sharing this poem with us. It was fun and creative and unfortunately, very true. I definitely enjoyed reading. The flow was musical and the rhyming scheme excellent.

Comment from Rosemary Everson1
The times of long ago are reminisced in this poem. There is something about the rock and roll era. How we long for that music sometimes because it brings back moments of long ago. You had me giggling, enjoyed your poem.

Comment from Daylily
I love this journey you are inviting readers to go upon with you through the many stages of a long life.
As a child, I can remember how long our summer vacations seemed between school years. Now, the summer season just whizzes along and seems like it is over in a heartbeat.
I also appreciate how you have closed your rhyming couplet posting with the hilarious humor of the four guys. Unfortunately, too many of us can relate to it only too well. Big smiles, Lily

LOL, Reader's Digest has a section called Laughter is the best medicine. Your poem belongs in that section! Debi, many of us can relate...except for the part about all the guys in the bed...just saying. LOL, great fun and truth. Terry.

Hey, now that would be an accomplishment. My poems in any magazine would be nice. LOL. Thanks for the vote of confidence and for the song. Did you notice how big it is next to the other one I have there? Thanks for all the fun comments, Terry, and the awesome six stars too.
Comment from Yusita
I enjoyed reading this. You summarize eloquently the rush to grow older and then the reality of how fast time flies when we don't necessarily want it to. As always, I enjoyed the humor sprinkled throughout your lines.

Comment from Sally Law
Oh my goodness, girlfriend, you still have your sense of humor! Thank you, Ineeded this as badly as today's meds. You're hilarious! This rhyming verse was just he thing. Love the pic too and the song.
My favorite must be mentioned:
My husband knows I have four guys in bed, but not for play
Their names ~ Art-Thritis, Charlie Horse, Will Power and Ben Gay.
I'm definitely having an affair with them too. Two timers!
Sending you my best today as always.
Love,
BBB and the Men ;))

Hey there my sweet Sal, could you be any sweeter? Thank you so very much for such lovely comments and for having fun with me on this poem. I had lots of fun writing it. Thank you also for the gracious six stars! I thank you from the bottom of my heart, dear friend. Lotsa Love, Debi
Comment from Sandra Stoner-Mitchell
I love the names you've given your ailments, they are so funny. I shall start using them for mine. :)) Your poem reminded me of all the times I wished I was older when I was a child. We so glibbly wish time away, and then suddenly, it's gone! I'm sure everyone who reads this will be able to relate, Debi, it's something we all do. I enjoyed reading your well written poem, my friend. Well done!!
While I'm here, I want to say a humongous THANK YOU for all the prayers, your thoughts, and those lovely extras you sent in my emails. I loved the Santa one, I had to show the nurses, and they thought it was so sweet of you. Thank you, dear friend. Love and hugs, Sandra xxx

And you are so very welcome. Thats what friends are for. Please just take it easy, so you don't have to end up back in that place again. I truly was worried about you.

Oh my gosh, how cute!
First, I love the artwork. It gave me a good laugh!
Secondly, I enjoyed the reminder of life as it has become!
Love those men in bed with you, lol.
Been there, done that. Too funny. I'm not sure what that is, either.
Love it, Debi! How you find time to write and take care of all of us, I don't know, but thank you!
Love and hugs,
Rhonda

Awww, you're the sweet one, but thank you for saying I am.
I did have fun with the poem and it was evident you did as well. Uplifting is always good.
Much love,

Comment from Debbie D'Arcy
A fun celebration of those stages of life, vividly conveyed in your lovely rhyming couplets. The image is an absolute delight and, clearly, all we have to do is keep smiling and laughing with friends and family. Thanks for sharing, Debi. Debbie

Comment from Navada
Ha! I thoroughly enjoyed this witty reflection on the ageing process throughout life and found myself resonating with much of it, even though I'm only a comparatively young fifty-two! :) Thanks for the share! :)
