Blessings

While it’s older I am getting
My mind is still quite young
It is there I hope to keep it
Fresh and alive, not stung

I have no conception of age
Though sometimes, the body gets rattled
But that’s a part of life
Get it settled and on with the battle

I have never been on a diet
I have worked out so very little
I have eaten everything on my plate
And I am anything but brittle

Yes, I’ve had a few setbacks
But not enough to break the rock
Thank God for all his blessings
And I come from great auld stock

Then what keeps it all together
When attacked from around the bends
It’s the strength and love of family
And connection with dear old friends
