Still
Learning Poem
When I was
in my younger days, I weighed a few pounds less. I needn't hold my tummy in to
wear a belted dress.
But now that I am older, I've set my body free; There's comfort of elastic Where
once my waist would be.
Inventor of those high-heeled shoes My feet have not forgiven; I have to
wear a nine now, But used to wear a seven.
And
how about those pantyhose- They're sized by weight, you see, So how come when I
put them on, The crotch is at my knees?
I need to wear these glasses As the prints were getting smaller; And it
wasn't very
long ago I know that I was taller.
Though
my hair has turned to silver and my skin no longer fits, On the
inside, I'm the same old me, Just the outside's changed a bit.

I've learned that making a living is not the same thing as making a life.
I've learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance.
I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on
both hands. You need to be able to throw something back.
I've learned that if you pursue happiness, it will elude you, but if you
focus on your family, your friends, the needs of others, your work
and doing the very best you can, happiness will find you.
I've learned that whenever I decide something with an open heart, I usually make
the right decision!
I've learned that even when I have pains, I don't have to be one.
I've learned that every day you should reach out and touch someone. People
love that human touch, holding hands, a warm hug, or just a friendly pat on the
back.
I've learned that I still have a lot to learn.
