The melody out of music, |
|
The pride out of
appearance, |
|
The courtesy out of
driving, |
|
The romance out of love, |
|
The commitment out of
marriage, |
|
The responsibility out of
parenthood, |
|
The togetherness out of
the family, |
|
The learning out of
education, |
|
The service out of
patriotism, |
|
The Golden Rule from
rulers, |
|
The nativity scene out of
cities, |
|
The civility out of
behavior, |
|
The refinement out of
language, |
|
The dedication out of
employment, |
|
The prudence out of
spending, |
|
The ambition out of
achievement or |
|
God out of government and
school. |
And we certainly are NOT
the ones who eliminated patience and tolerance from personal
relationships and interactions with others!!
And, we do understand the
meaning of patriotism, and remember those who have fought and died
for our country.
Does anyone under the age of
50 know the lyrics to the Star Spangled Banner? What about the last
verse of My Country 'tis of Thee?
"Our father's God to thee,
Author of liberty, To Thee we sing. Long may our land be bright,
With freedom's Holy light. Protect us by Thy might, Great God our
King."
Just look at the Seniors
with tears in their eyes and pride in their hearts as they stand at
attention with their hand over their hearts!
YES, I'M A
SENIOR CITIZEN!
I'm the life of the
party......even if it lasts until 8 p.m. I'm very good at opening
childproof caps.... with a hammer. I'm awake many hours before my
body allows me to get up. I'm smiling all the time because I can't
hear a thing you're saying. I'm sure everything I can't find is in a
safe secure place, somewhere. I'm wrinkled, saggy, lumpy, and that's
just my left leg. I'm beginning to realize that aging is not for
wimps. I'm a walking storeroom of facts..... I've just lost the key
to the storeroom door.
Yes, I'm a SENIOR CITIZEN
and I think I am having the time of my life!
