A birthday celebration I could view from my hotel room! |
20's joyfully dreaming,
believing the world
is a fairytale and living...
Beaming and dancing,
To every song and tune,
That speaks of love
and heartbreaks,
to loss quite immune,
Until you are hit by 30's
grey hair and responsibilities,
work and pandemonium,
money, bills unwholesome!
Searching for milk in fridge,
And medicines in top shelves!
ha. i am in my 40s...well i am 40...so i guess i am well over the hill at this point...ha...its not so bad, this aging thing...you learn a bit of perspective...

Delete30s! You old crone, lol. There is still lots of good stuff ahead, believe me. :-)
ReplyDeletewell i havnt hit my 30s yet... still a few more years to go!! :)
DeleteStarting out gayly here, Arushi. I remover the 20's, fun days. But so far they all have been enjoyable for me. The even birthdays get to be the pits, I've tried to run away for my last three of them. Of course I would have come back. Actually, I did run away but people came with me (New York City, Octoberfest, and undisclosed place in Texas).
ReplyDelete..
haha... running away from birthdays jim!!? i love birthdays!!
DeleteThere is a saying, "If you don't like the age you are just wait about 5 years!"
ReplyDeleteMary thank you for the saying ill keep it in mind... although im still quite fine with my age!!
Deleteaww..nice lines Arushi...
ReplyDelete:-D how lovely it was to be twenty, at thirty I felt so old, at fourty I felt renewed, at fifty my life a whirl, at sixty I started to write .. and here I am :-) great poem made me smile with memories.
ReplyDeletewell then id presume sixty is the best!! :)
DeleteI'll do you a favor and not tell you what it's like approaching fifty!
ReplyDeleteActually, I would rather be this age than in my twenties again. That was a horrid decade.
Thanks for visiting The Netherworld.

DeleteHa.. at 50 you cannot put your medicine in high places anymore...
