Wrinkles - or Holidays?

Lunched with friends one Sunday

Many things we did discuss

Work, plans, family life..

Age catching up with us.

We’re all approaching fifty

(I must say, we’re mildly shocked)

We don’t want life to pass us by

We want to say life “rocked”.

We spoke of bands we want to see

Of trips that will be great

Wanting to enjoy weekends -

We agreed housework can wait!

A sunny Saturday at the beach 🏖

Life’s far too short to worry

About hair that’s turning grey

And when it comes to “fine lines”

We might get to them, one day.

Fight the visible signs of ageing?

We’d rather save our dough 💰

There are so many places to be

And things to do, you know.

One friend nicely summed it up

“Wrinkles - or holidays?”

Given any chance, I’ll pack my bag

And head off – lead the way!
