THE GIRLS!
When I was in my younger days
I weighed a few pounds less
I needn't hold my tummy in
to wear a belted dress.
But now that I am older,
I've set my body free;
There's comfort of elastic
Where once my waist would be.
Inventor of those high-heeled shoes
My feet have not forgiven;
I have to wear a nine now,
But used to wear a seven.
And how about those pantyhose-
They're sized by weight, you see,
So how come when I put them on
The crotch is at my knees?
I need to wear these glasses
As the prints were getting smaller;
And it wasn't very long ago
I know that I was taller.
Though my hair has turned to grey
and my skin no longer fits,
On the inside, I'm the same old me,
Just the outside's changed a bit.
On a positive note...
I've learned that no matter what happens,or how
bad it seems today, life does go on, and it will be better
tomorrow.
I've learned that you can tell a lot about a
person by the way he/she handles these three things: a rainy day,
lost
luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights.
I've learned that regardless of your
relationship with your parents, you'll
miss them when they're gone from your life.
I've learned that making a "living" is not the
same thing as making a "life."
I've learned that life sometimes gives you a
second chance.
I've learned that you shouldn't go through life
with a catcher's mitt on both hands. You need to be able to throw
something back.
I've learned that whenever I decide something
with an open heart, I usually make the right decision.
I've learned that even when I have pains, I
don't have to be one.
I've learned that every day you should reach out and touch someone.
People love a warm hug, or just a friendly pat
on the back.
I've learned that I still have a lot to learn.
I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will
forget what
you did, but people will never forget how you
made them feel.
