The Legend

Life what a jump it takes one from being a baby in diapers and bottles to turning to the age of 55, and no one but you seems to notice. Yes all the humps and bumps that was not there when you were sixteen or even thirty are all of a sudden showing up. Life it takes the cake for constantly changing and never staying the same. Sometimes we get shoved aside for the younger and the tides of life churn about making one sick at their stomach at the changes it has caused. Homes have been broken up over these changes along with murders being committed all because one might get it into their head younger is better,but they do not want to pay the price of having the best all through the years they have shared with another. Wrinkles and sags show up and all of a sudden we know that old age has finally caught up with us. There are some who would like to crumble us up like an old paper bag and put us in the garbage if they could. Instead of respecting these as signs of a knowledge that you earn and a self education that no one can have without getting old. I think we need to learn and earn as we go through life. If it was not for our older generation working and paying taxes and their social security ,there would be no retirement or money for our country to have to function on. I think after retirement age, we should show the respect that is due to our elderly. They deserve to be listen to over all others in this country. They deserve to live their life out with dignity and respect after all they have helped carved this country in to what it is today.
