Hi Dos, call me when things like that happen you...
I know you believe strongly in God/Jesus....just know
He was protecting you...and wait down the road...the reason why will come to life my sweet friend...and it's just not you...it is how it is with most relationships today...of all ages...old is just another reason to get out of a relationship...if you are truly cared about/loved...age has nothing to do with it...and those two people better wake up and smell the coffee...70 for them is just a hand shake away...you want to see them come running back...tell them you won the lottery...age would go right out the window...love is from the heart...your still young you...I love your poem...you should have contested this one...and how did you get this picture of me...LOL...very well written...and sooooooo good to see you...bunches of love...Uno xxoo

I am going to leave here either the first or second week of June...will se you soon...xxoo

oh my this does ring true. It comes so fast upon us - this discrimination cuz we have lived our years. However, in our church for example, the older persons are given honor and I appreciate that. However, as you said, "we take one more step"

It is their loss to turn you down for a date. What jerks! You did a great job with you poem. The message is clear. While some may have tunnel vision with this issue, God doesn't. You are loved by Him no matter what age. Thanks for sharing. Jan

I think this is a fine poem, LL. We all get old it's just that some of us started earlier than others.

A most well written poem and my pleasure to read today.

I have no more stars to give I love the artwork you choose to go with your poem
You captured my attention from the first line to the last it's sad that those guy turn you down because of you are.. They should stop and think that age for them is just around the corner and who know how many ladies turn them down because of their age. I like to give them a piece of my mind maybe should try a different area or dating agency on line
don't give up, God not ready for you yet so go shake a leg
I'm eighty year young and doing my thing.
. I started a poem about this very thing
It is called - You got to be kidding
I don't know when It will be finished, This week I go to the doctor and trying to pack some boxes to donate clothes etc.
You know when your away from the computer it build up like crazy
take care

Very sad poem.

I like the list of oxymorons in stanza 1.

Consider putting "to white" on one line and "not from fright" on one line. Just a thought.

"The road to old is never golden paved "-- wonderful line.

Hi Linda,

I was so glad to come across this poem about age. I just lost my mother, and was taking care of her as she aged. It wasn't pretty, for her, and she often commented that this wasn't what she had expected for her "golden years". You captured this idea in your poem.

Aside from the lovely message, the poem is delightfully written, capturing attention and imagination.

BTW, I love you (little comfort there).

Rhonda

I feel the pain of your loneliness seeping forth from your words,
You didn't need them anyway if they turned you down, you aren't too old, you are in the blossom of your youth! On a brighter note I liked the flow and structure of your prom, it is different.

Rejection is never fun for any reason, but for being just a few years older?
You're better off without that type.
You very cleverly describe the aging process - especially in the first four
lines.
Remember 70 is the new 50!

The picture and your title drew me in, and I'm glad they did. I too am 71, and I enjoyed this read about ageing. No one is ever too old to be loved, and I hope you find that out. Thanks for sharing,
cheers.
