31st anniversary of finding myself....yeah 31 was a flagship for me of sorts too funny little year, huh?

I have been reading each year from 60 on & have enjoyed each one. I agree with alot you have said about agining gracefully. I feel one mellows with age & there's no going back, but one can feel youthful in spirit again. Jeannie Dament poetic name-Spiritsong

Hmm, well... Right or other 'Wise' I've concluded, age is a calculable invent Ancient fools of programed brain, tombstone to re-reincarnate their pre matured mortality Defiance of Mind The count goes on, as a matter of time It's significance, a mere state of mind The second was created, to tick for a minute Monument the hour, we erected a 'Watch' tower Hours turned to days, then weeks became months, and as if that weren't enough, someone 'Counted' the months Commemorating the first second, nay! shed not a tear.. Although its young life has ended, we decease another year We are irate by the 'Count Down', when we celebrate, 'Happy Birthdays', as a clown with a frown... As for me! I'll have no part of time's game Nor will I become a 'Sum Total', the equation's the same Ageless and forever young, while time I defy, and at death I sneer... 'tis but a fool that gets older, Counting every New Year... Louie Levy 1995?
