A Healthy Life: Captured Forever

With one eye on God, spiritually content,
An active lifestyle of cleanliness and godliness;
Taking good care of one’s own personhood,
As well as being there for many others;   
Alert to the excitement of the rapidly changing world,
With an optimistic, astute outlook and attitude towards the future;
Motivated in a positive, constructive direction,
Ready and willing to be proactive;
Always a twinkle in the bright, aging eyes,
Going gray, maybe becoming bald, too.
Wrinkled and weather-worn,
Yet, happy, cheerful and fun loving,
Playful and delightfully, mischievous, at times;
Great to be with, ever wanting to share a good time,
Yet concerned about family and friends,
As well as children of all ages.
Loving and kind to all,
Wise and wonderful,
Philanthropic, compassionate and caring,
Willing to give and share,
Inherently good, not evil;
Standing tall among the crowd,
A natural born leader of men and women;
Intrigued by nature’s fathomless beauty and mystery,
Loving and enjoying life to its fullest,
Finding time for whatever, whenever;
Open to new ideas and suggestions,
Intellectually sound, truth-oriented.
Academically inclined,
A mentor, perpetual teacher,
Financially secure,
Independent by nature;
Willingly and able to
Participate in the joy life has to offer;
Physically fit and surprisingly active,
Emotionally stable, mentally with it,
In tune with life’s realities,
Eating well, sleeping like a log,
Free from the vices of abuse.
Always seeking new challenges
While accepting change graciously,
An engaging attitude towards aging,
Living in a state of continual health and wellness,
Determined to stay forever young at heart,
Sound of mind, body and soul,
A healthy life and lifestyle,
Surreptitiously, captured forever,
In the portrait of a retiree.
