This is a Mother's Day card I got from Julie and Bo. the inside said,
"Motherhood... is not for sissies!" Well neither is old age and this card
inspired the following poem!
OLD AGE IS NOT FOR WIMPS
Old age is not for wimps,
But for those who endures,
Those who stand up to pain and loss
And do not fold in reclining years.
Old age is not for wimps,
Not for delicate flowers,
But for those toughened by years of toil
And have labored on for many hours.
Old age is not for wimps,
But for those who make do
And have saved, scrimped and sacrificed,
For those they love so true.
Old age is not for wimps,
When beauty and youth have flown away,
But for those who have the courage,
To keep going every day.
Old age is not for wimps,
With many loved ones no longer here
And you've said goodbye to so many,
Those that you hold so dear.
So I'll say it once again...
As the years fly by so fast,
Old age is not for wimps,
But for those tough enough to last!
