Sixty Nine Acrostic.

Goldfinch60



So many years have passed

In your wonderful life where

Xenodochialism is in your life

Threading your way to love from all

Year after year.

 

Nearing that new time in life

Intrigues your mind

Now that things may change but

Ever sure that you will do the right thing.

    What it is to grow into old age eh? But compensation rests in knowing someone who knows how to be a real friend in all kinds of weather. Someone who can encourage the belief in tomorrows sunshine.

      ANGELA HERE - Good Morning Uncle ANDY a beautiful Song (Moon River) - Movie Clip and Poem to wake up to and have to face Hospital Work after all the Fun & Joy of yesterday with Pater Nosters ! You are something of an MSN Poet Laureate being abe to conjour up Poems for Highdays & Holidays. Your Poem is a lovely Acrostic for your Friend enters his 70th year. The term SEVENTY PLUS is used to describe the *Beginning of the End* so one might want to relish it - like in recent Years I wanted to be 29 forever ! Your Poem is a great encouragement to one who you see as *User Friendly* (The Greeks always have a WORD for it) A person who both gives & accepts Friendship should have no fear of being 70 or 30 for that matter. Im thankful that my abliy to be a *Friend* improves with age - AMEN.

      Blessings & Peace to You & Yours
      Love Angela & Brian 💛💛💛💛💛

      We can't go far wrong with a bit of xeno-wotsit!
      We've had it then - we were 70 in about 1120, if we fought at Hastings as young men! We're millions of years old anyway. lol.
      Beginning of the end? Well, that's put the tin hat on any happiness! doh!

      • Goldfinch60

        Very true that xeno-wotsit is always important in our lives.

        Giving and accepting is the right way to live dear Andy and you are such a fine example of that. Thanks for sharing words on the way time passes.

          Wonderful birthday gift for your friend Andy. Always loved that song.

          • Goldfinch60

            Thank you AP. That was one of the songs that my wife used to sing when we were in a swing band.
