She's Not Getting Any Younger

I don’t know what it’s like
To be old,
But I think
It’s living long enough
To make a joke of the things
That were once
Breaking your heart.

Exactly right! Suddenly getting old seems not so bad:-)

Maryam - No, but I'm still gonna do it kicking and screaming!

Hugs,

Now me, I'm getting old - and the things that once broke my heart are still poignant to this day - more bitter-sweet now than then is the best that can be said
