well girl, here we are

In our seventies, not too bad so far;


bird song of mornings,

and sunset evenings;


tis the way this life must go,

gratefulness be our mojo;


i and i, you know what they say,

best buds, all the way...

To be, or not to be: that is the question:
Whether ’tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
And by opposing end them? To die: to sleep;
Hamlet soliloquy, spoken by Hamlet, act 3, scene 1
William Shakespeare 1564 - 1616

  6. Gillena,

    "Gratefulness be our mojo": true wisdom and the beauty, "birdsong of morning," the honesty of "not too bad so far" because aging means taking it one day at a time. Beautifully expressed soliloquy.
