Adages of Age

April 12, 2016

Dear Subscriber:

Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of view. The theme for this week is aging: the changes in perspective, health, wisdom, and satisfaction.

Today’s poem is a set of proverbs from the perspective of old age.

I welcome comments on my poems at http://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com.

Yours,

Nick Gordon

ADAGES OF AGE

--In the morning there is hope; in the afternoon, fulfillment; in the evening, memory; at night, peace.

--Free choice is destiny without a crystal ball.

--Like water, quality seeks its own level.

--Boredom is the result of insufficient attention to detail.

--Every moment of life is a moment of unperceived ecstasy.
