To have that facelift
And then be miffed!

Poet Unknown
Everything is farther away than it used to be.
It is even twice as far to the corner and they have added a hill.
I have given up running for the bus; it leaves earlier than it used to.
It seems to me they are making the stairs steeper than in the old days.
And have you noticed the smaller print they use in the newspapers?
There is no sense in asking anyone to read aloud anymore,
as everybody speaks in such a low voice I can hardly hear them.
The material in dresses is so skimpy now,
especially around the hips and waist,
that it is almost impossible to reach one's shoelaces.
And the sizes don't run the way they used to.
The 12s and 14s are so much smaller.
Even people are changing.
They are so much younger than they used to be when I was their age.
On the other hand, people my own age are so much older than I am.
I ran into an old classmate the other day
and she has aged so much that she didn't recognize me.
I got to thinking about the poor dear
while I was combing my hair this morning,
and in so doing I glanced at my own reflection.
Really now, they don't even make good mirrors like they used to.
This is a great poem to give to someone who is 65. You could also change the age of the person who is celebrating a birthday - it could be used for a 40th birthday poem, or a 50th one.

I Turned Around
Poet: K Summers
I turned around
and the years were gone
I tried to tell
but it was a hard sell
Celebrate today
Because will another come our way!

Poet C Pulsifer
I'm to young to be this old
It is like catching a cold
It happens before you know
The years fly by and then your old.
But life is to be live each day
Never stop learning
Keep busy
Find a laugh
And life will be the best.

Your Age
Poet Lewis Carroll
"You are old, Father Wiilliam," the young man said,
"And your hair has become very white;
And yet you incessantly stand on your head-
Do you think, at your age, it is right?"

Our Years
Poet Robert Herrick
Young I was, but now am old,
But I am not yet grown cold;
I can play, and I can twine
'Bout a virgin like a vine:
In her lap too I can lie
Melting, and in fancy die:
And return to life, if she
Claps my cheek, or kisseth me;
Thus, and thus it now appears
That our love outlasts our years.

Look
Poet: Unknown
Look 30, Act 20,
Feel 60, Must be 40.
