NOT OVER THE HILL
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?
