“My Sleeping Beauty,” 12×16 acrylic by Marie Francis
Life in My ’80s
By Marie Francis
I just turned the big 8 0!
Today I tripped and broke my toe.
I am now 81,
When am I going to start having fun?
Wow! I made it to 82.
I must find more crossword puzzles to do.
Today I will be 83.
Oops. Sorry I must watch my favorite program on TV.
Today I am 84.
When I sleep, I can hear myself snore.
85 and still alive!
How blessed am I.
At 86,
I am not that quick.
Turning 87.
I wake up each day, think I am in heaven.
It is my Birthday again Iām 88.
Everywhere I go Iām always late.
Well at 89,
I am just biding my time.
At the big 9 0,
I am still on the go.
LOVE THIS – JUST PRICELESS
MY AUNT NELLA LIVED TO BE ONE O FOUR (104)
MAN ALIVE COULD SHE SLAM THE DOOR. LOL. – TRUE STORY.
I love your art and the poem is fabulous. Keep counting and celebrate each day.
Love it! Gives me hope to make it to 90 and more.
Delightful. You go, girl! And your painting is exquisite.
That poem is awesome
I loved this. For my big 7-0, I fell down the stairs. I had to splint my broken hand with my great-grandmother’s whale bone stave and drive myself to the hospital.
May I share this with others who are not pen women?
Fantastic!
