Numbers in Life.

Goldfinch60



It is only a number,

There are so many of them.

Some are frightening,

But in the scheme of things

The one that you have reached

Is just a little one.

It may seem large to you

But many others have passed it,

They live their full lives

With humour and love

At many great ages.

Be sure that you will live your life,

Live it to the best of your ability.

This time in your life is just the beginning,

The beginning of the wonderful journey,

The wonderful journey into your future.

      A good write Gold. Ahh, you mean 20, I suspect - that's got a zero on the end of it. And you and I have been 21 for centuries!

      • Goldfinch60

        She was (21 x 3) - (21 / 3) - (21 / 7 x 2). Simples.

        • orchidee

          Ahh I see. Looks like you're playing Bingo! Are we 21 x about 5 million?! You done too much thinking, working out that sum? Should we think so much? All these questions.....

          Many great things to come if only we can allow ourselves to see the opportunity. A wonderful little piece here Finch. It holds much truth and it's a heartwarming venture. Two thumbs up.

          • Goldfinch60

            Thank you Nicholas, the opportunities are out there and we must grab them with both hands.

          • orchidee

            Did you think much to work out that sum? And if so, was it dangerous (to think, I mean)?!
