Seniors, Hang In There

If you're feeling useless
Like a flat or limp balloon,
Or if you feel outdated
Like an old and wrinkled prune...

Don't despair, look up and shout!
Don't let your spirit get the gout!
Seniors should not groan and limp
Nor let old age their "style" crimp!

You know more than young 'uns do...
Could show them just a thing or two!
Have some fun... and please don't quit.
We need your wisdom, wit and grit.

By your knowledge and your spunk
You can see through "bunk" and junk.
How we need your common sense
To help us live with confidence!

"The glory of young men is their strength, and the beauty of old men is their gray head (suggesting wisdom and experience)."
Proverbs 20:29 Amplified Bible

"Those that be planted in the house of the Lord shall flourish in the courts of our God. They shall still bring forth fruit in old age; they shall be fat and flourishing."
Psalm 92:13-14 KJV
