I LOVE YOU BY ANY MEASURE # 8

 

I love you by any measure

You might wish to use

But I don’t know how to express

The way I feel about you

And the affect you have on me

So, I hope this gives you a clue

If I dropped a grain of sand

Onto a desert dune

Only when they found it

Would I stop loving you

WHEN I WAS YOUNG

When I was young

I was self-conscious

Walking on the beach

With my shirt off

Now I walk

To the water’s edge

With my abused body

Bulging over my speedos

And I go slowly and deliberately

To the waves

In an act of defiance

And I feel great 

IN THAT EXQUISITE PLACE

 

In that exquisite place,

Lying between

Sleep and wakefulness,

Night and day,

Fantasy and reality.

And not knowing

As senses heighten

If it’s a vivid dream

Or a sensual reality.

It is shear ecstasy

MILESTONE 60 # 3

I know it’s a big one

But remember this please

Age really isn't important

Unless you are cheese 

I’M QUITE A PHILOSOPHICAL PERSON

 

I’m quite a philosophical person

So I don’t get phased and accept what life gives

So I think Birthdays are good for you;

Because the more you have the longer you live

DON’T FRET ABOUT GETTING OLD

 

Don’t fret about getting old

Be philosophical instead

Age is really just a number

Old is only in your head

I GOT A DUAL PURPOSE BIRTHDAY CARD

 

I got a dual purpose birthday card

The intention was well meant

For a person of your advancing years

With its very high fibre content
