Silly Heart

Many, many years ago, I purchased a Hallmark greeting card for which I finally got a frame, because I fell in love with the poem inside and always want to be able to look at it to cheer myself up:


I just love the photo of the happy, white-haired lady and hope that can be me some day!


I want to have a silly heart
when I grow old someday
a heart that still does somersaults
and runs outside to play

a heart that won't forget to dream
and can't remember facts
and thinks of birthday candles
as just sticks of wicks and wax

I want a heart that's been around
and knows a thing or two
but still can laugh
I want to have
a silly heart
don't you?
