Hoping that you may include this Poem along with all your others in a book some day.<br /><br />I know of my age but somewhere within this body there is still a child with an eagerness and curiosity to enjoy life's dreams.<br /><br />Thank you for the info on the artists Paul Henry and Mrs Henry.<br /><br />xxCAMILLAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04741990891794651299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1259513454241506815.post-4801347230343947872010-08-11T20:01:52.667-07:002010-08-11T20:01:52.667-07:00If I didn't know how old I was, I would guess ...If I didn't know how old I was, I would guess way older than I am!

I wish this were my lot, at whatever it will be my time to leave this life.<br /><br />Now, I feel no age at all, my body is telling me that youth has gone for good and old age is just around the corner.Frikohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04277167831642088694noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1259513454241506815.post-33109728831697179592010-08-09T23:07:33.948-07:002010-08-09T23:07:33.948-07:00Thank you for the introduction to both Henrys.

Another of his quotes is, "Don't look over your shoulder, someone might be gaining on you."<br /><br />Your poem is beautiful, presenting a contemplation of what knowlege and understanding a person just might accumulate from 92 years of living.<br /><br />I find it difficult to answer your question, though. I do know my own age and am confortable knowing it, and consider myself so fortunate to have pretty decent health adding to that comfort! xoFranceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08352407314710067616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1259513454241506815.post-28337137985092770612010-08-09T03:34:34.050-07:002010-08-09T03:34:34.050-07:00Hi Cait
