I’m Only Mature
I went to McDonald’s for a burger and fries;
And there once again, got quite a surprise.
The clerk poured some coffee which he handed to me.
He said, “For you Seniors, the coffee is free.”
Understand – I’m not old – I’m merely mature;
But some things are changing, temporarily, I’m sure.
The newspaper print gets smaller each day,
And people speak softer – can’t hear what they say.
My teeth are my own (I have the receipt),
And my glasses identify people I meet.
Oh, I’ve slowed down a bit…not a lot, I am sure.
You see, I’m not old…I’m only mature.
The gold in my hair has been bleached by the sun.
You should see all the damage that chlorine has done.
Washing my hair has turned it all white,
But don’t call it gray….saying “blond” is just right.
My car is all paid for…not a nickel is owed.
Yet some kids yell, “Old duffer…get off the road!”
My car has no scratches…not even a dent,
Still I get all this stuff from a punk who’s “Hell bent.”
My friends all get older…much faster than me.
They seem much more wrinkled, from what I can see.
I’ve got “character lines” not wrinkles…for sure,
But don’t call me old….just call me mature.
The steps in the houses they’re building today
Are so high that they take all your breath away;
And the streets are much steeper than ten years ago.
That should explain why my walking is slow.
But I’m keeping up with what’s hip and what’s new,
And I think I can still dance a mean boogaloo.
I’m still in the running…in this I’m secure,
I’M NOT REALLY OLD….I’M ONLY MATURE!
Love and Friends

Friends are always special and dear….. whether they are far away or near.. Gradually they become close and filled with that being apart from them is just like an Love that happens just in a wink.. But to express it to the special is just not that quick.. Once expressed cannot be denied.. as these are the innermost feelings which keeps the Two of them Feel so Tied.. Loving, Caring, Sharing are the most important aspects.. Being with each other all the time is what both of them expect..!! “Lone” is the word undiscovered and unreal.. But certain times, “Lone” is what we desire… Times spent together can fill this Loneliness But Living for Loving each other is where lies their happiness..!! Blind Love is different from trust and though a thin line marks the border of the Still lovers prefer blindly loving their While trust and Faith is the Knot which binds “Me” Relationships involve intimacy.. but that is in privacy.. Love doesn’t end here.. infact its just the beginning of the Fear.. the Touch is felt even if they are apart.. As their beloved is always in their Stability in love is an Art.. Not All can have it like a Tart..!! Being close and feeling blue.. Future of the relationship has no clue.. Incidents may occur like sadness and which may end Like heights of Tolerance.. end of a past is the beginning of a better Being Positive and optimistic will always lead you here…!!
