BEATITUDES OF THE AGING
Blessed are those who don’t deny
I’m not a “them,” I’m still an “I.”
Blessed are the ones who see
I need a freedom to be me.
Blessed are they who don’t ignore
That many of my age are poor./Blessed are they who send a prayer —
And a ride to get from here to there.
Blessed are they who know full well
I have a wealth of things to tell.
Blessed are those who understand
I still can lend a helping hand.
Blessed are those who know and say
When I can handle a job today.
Blessed are those who from the start
Know that youth is a state of heart./Blessed are those who can attain
The age I’ve reached through sun and rain. Carol Hillman
