WAIT-NOT YET

I Shall...    

I shall not wear "Purple when I am old "

(never Happen)  

I shall be forever young -  

I shall wear denim - Sky-blue -  

I shall put blue-silver Roses in Cobalt bottles  

I shall place them in Rainbow French windows -  

I shall read all the Poets  

I shall know all the Artists  

I shall listen to all the Music  

I shall sing all the Songs  

I shall dance all the Dances  

I shall dine on finest Chocolate truffles - from fine silvered ribbon boxes - 

I shall share with the ladies and children -  

I shall have the richest light from ancient oil lamps -  

I shall entertain Young men with old hearts  

I shall entertain Old men with young hearts  

I shall swing in the old Porch swing -  

I shall walk the Garden woodland pathways -  

I shall hear all the Birdsongs -  

I shall go nearby -  

I shall photograph a cat or two -  

I shall take my AOL Journal - Wait -Not Yet -  

I shall part - parting is not the part -  

I shall feel all the Sunrises  

I shall see all the Sunsets - Moons and Stars -   

I shall find you again in AOL J-Land -

Should you not find me here - Look there -  

I shall be Somewhere waiting for you!

  I am always shocked when people lookat me as an older peerson. I was climbing over a barricade at Mardi Gras & a young man held out his hand to help me.I just smiled sweetly & did the old hook-the - toe- and -sling-the -leg trick, but I did jump over them awhile back! LOL!
  I love the entry.
