It's 32,805 The number of days you have now been alive 4,680 in weeks You're listed among the world's priceless antiques No way could the auctioneer’s gavel come down For even the wealthiest bidder in town I'd place a reserve of infinity plus And wrap you and take you back home on the bus You didn't arrive where you got to today By giving your favourite belongings away It’s kinder to share your opinions around Instructions and lessons for free not one pound Be careful don't burn yourself do not get lost And why are you foolish and what did that cost Collected and catalogued in your wee head Is everything everyone's done or has said Sound judgements pronounced no appeals This one's true Most 90 year olds are just nothing like you A mother's words are hard to price Admonishments and wise advice I learned at last that listening pays It took me 20,000 days
Thanks Gill, that’s much appreciated, the reviews not showing yet but I’ll check back later. Norma

I love your book and am so glad we had that conversation. I’ve left you a review on Amazon! Your shop is ‘paused’?
