55 - 35



 
Age is only a number
Youth is an attitude
Age comes with growing
Wisdom comes with age
Halfway to seventy
Feeling no fear
Embracing possibilities
Faith, love and hope
In between young and old
I am me
I am here
I know where I have been
I know where I’m going
Tomorrow
I’ll be thirty-five

  2. Have a great half-way-there birthday. Great words, too, youth is most definitely an attitude, and wisdom does come with age.

    Peter: Thank you. :) And when I'm there, at 70, I'm actually only halfway to... 140, right? ;)

  10. Happy Birthday! It's amazing when we are young how "old" 35 seems... and amazing how young we can feel at that age... "wisdom comes with age" yes indeed!

  13. Ah, we both did our 55s on time. :)

    BTW, I absolutely love you for reading Suzie's House. Suzie's House is a serial I've been writing for three years now. I've only been doing FF55 for about a year. To see my 55, you have to scroll down past Suzie's House and my 365 project because I post my 55 on Thursday nights. I'm sorry for the inconvenience.

  14. Dear girl, happy birthday. I'm so happy you visited my blog this morning so I could meet you. Thank you for the lovely comment about my poem. Yours was wise. I also read your post below about "pink" and wanted to let you know: That pink spikey flower that you say is your favorite but you don't know the name of it? It is also the same type of flower as in your profile photo. My birthday gift to you is the name of it: Dahlia. I grow dahlias, and they come in all shapes and sizes. I actually have that pink spikey one in my garden. It's called a cactus dahlia. Enjoy your day!

  20. Happy birthday. great poem. You're almost exactly one year older than I.

  21. Happy birthday! Perhaps you should have done a "35" instead of a "55" this week, in honour of the occasion? :)

    Good for you for celebrating the feeling instead of dwelling on a number. Great 55! May your day - and your year - be full of only good things.
