deficiency of the modern world, real or imaginary. We know we take
responsibility for all we have done and do not blame others.
HOWEVER, upon reflection, we would like to point out that it was NOT the senior citizens who took:
The melody out of music,
The pride out of appearance,
The courtesy out of driving,
The romance out of love,
The commitment out of marriage,
The responsibility out of parenthood,
The togetherness out of the family,
The learning out of education,
The service out of patriotism,
The Golden Rule from rulers,
The nativity scene out of cities,
The civility out of behavior,
The refinement out of language,
The dedication out of employment,
The prudence out of spending,
The ambition out of achievement, or,
God out of government and school.
And we certainly are NOT the ones who eliminated patience and tolerance from personal relationships and interactions with others!!
And, we do understand the meaning of patriotism, and remember those who
have fought and died for our country.
Does anyone under the age of 50 know the lyrics to the Star Spangled
Banner? or O Canada
Just look at the Seniors with tears in their eyes and pride in their
hearts as they stand at attention, on veterans day and our great country's
birthday .
YES, I'M A SENIOR
CITIZEN!
I'm the life of
the party...... even if it lasts until 8 p.m.
I'm very good at
opening childproof caps... with a hammer.
I'm usually
interested in going home before I get to where I am going.
I'm awake many
hours before my body allows me to get up.
I'm smiling all
the time because I can't hear a thing you're saying.
I'm very good at
telling stories; over and over and over and over...
I'm aware that
other people's grandchildren are not nearly as cute as mine.
I'm so cared for
--- long term care, eye care, private care, dental care.
I'm not really
grouchy,
I just don't like
traffic, waiting, crowds, lawyers, loud music, unruly kids, Jenny
Craig and Toyota
commercials, barking dogs, politicians and a few other things I can't
seem to remember right now.
I'm sure
everything I can't find is in a safe secure place, somewhere.
I'm wrinkled,
saggy, lumpy, and that's just my left leg.
I'm having
trouble remembering simple words like.......
I'm beginning to
realize that aging is not for wimps.
I'm sure they are
making adults much younger these days, and when did they let kids become
policemen?
I'm wondering, if
you're only as old as you feel, how could I be alive at 150?
And, how can my
kids be older than I feel sometimes?
I'm a walking
storeroom of facts..... I've just lost the key to the storeroom door.
Yes, I'm a
SENIOR CITIZEN and I think I am having the time of my life!
Now if I could
only remember who sent this to me, I wouldn't send it back to them, but I
would send it to many more!
Now- Have I already sent this to you???????
If so, I'll try not to do it again (for a while.)
Especially the Star Spangled Banner and O Canada.
In my country it is Majulah Singapura.
And you know what ?
One morning the Vice Principal was so annoyed with the 1800 youths who could hardly sing their National Anthem for nuts. So she enlisted two members of the school choir to lead. And you know what ? That did not work. All this happening at a rostrum in front of a teacher (me) who was serving the last year of his career. So he (me) asked the Vice Principal's permission to lead in the singing. It was to the Vice Pricipal's satisfaction. Later some students said to him (me): Power lah Sir !
A Plus to Senior Citizens !
