Happy Birthday to Ronni at Time Goes By! Since Ronni was complaining the other day of the lack of songs for older people, I found this one for her:
We know an old lady, she tells great stories,
She’s seen things you’ve only read about in books.
She gets such joy, from filling us up
With her love and with the great food she cooks.
And after we’ve eaten, we sit by the fire,
She hums a song that’s from a far-off land.
I notice a photo of her as a child,
Imagine all that’s happened since then!
CHORUS:
Older people have so much to share,
Look in their hearts for the treasure waits there.
The key to unlock it is show them you care…
Older people have so much to share,
So much to share, they have so much to share.
The old man next door, he lives all alone,
He’s traveled through life many a mile.
It feels so good, when we visit him,
To see his face light up with a smile.
CHORUS
The hands of the young, the hands of the old,
Reaching out for hands to hold.
Love is a feeling between two hearts,
Age can’t keep us apart.
CHORUS
So much to share, they have so much to share.
This song is available on Vitamin L’s Walk A Mile CD.

Thank you, Ronni for all that you do – you do tell great stories. I love your blog and I learn so much from you!
UPDATE : Be sure to read Ronni’s post today on turning 65 – as usual a great read!

[…] An afterthought: Looking at Ronni’s last year’s post, I found that it was entitled When I’m sixty-four… And that I had indeed left my birthday wishes. Time goes by and makes you forgetful!

Oh, wow, Donna. What a lovely song lyric. I’ll get myself on over there and order that CD. Thank you so much for such a terrific birthday greeting.
