Act Your Age

diamondpoet on Nov 23, 2009

Acting like a responsible adult.

Age is just a number.

Is it really?

Sometime I wonder.

Act your age.

All grown-up with a maturity.

Polished up, a shiny display of purity.

Act your age.

Be a leader and not be lead.

Release the wisdom inside your head.

Act your age.

Your not old, just a little older.

Compliment some one, extend a shoulder,

Act your age.

Grandbaby calling you grandma?

It’s not the end,

just another chapter and a different page.

So act your age.

I wish more folks would act their age. We have way too many immature, irresponsible adults running around.

I have behaved immaturely a couple of times, and had to apologize. Nobodys perfect.

That was cute, and quite amusing…It put a smile on my face even more when I saw the old guy on the big wheel. 2 thumbs up.
