By J P Henderson-Long
I refuse to believe
that I'm over the hill,
I have life experience.
I have life skill.
I'm wiser than wise
in the ways of the world;
I've learned many lessons
as life has unfurled.
I feel that its time
to let you all know,
I'm pleased with my lot,
I continue to grow.
I'm not quite prepared
to give up the fight
nor vanish, forgotten,
or fade with the night.
This life is just great!
This life is just heaven!
Who would believe I'm
just forty-seven!
So build up your confidence,
work on that smile.
You'll find that it's worth it
mile after mile.
Mile after mile,
there's so much to do!
Over the hill?
I'm not! Are you?
