Healthy at 90!

Queen E2 is 90 and a picture of good health! She joins the rank of the greatly blessed.

*****

Old age –

Visons of tottering, of illness, pain

And a wheelchair near by.

But the blessed nonagenarians

Debilitating diseases and second childhood

Are spared and active remain

Long live the Queen!

I came to know about the SHC from eNN (Seng Kang). My interests are varied. I write on the forum regularly to improve my writing. In my autumn years, my priority is voluntary service. Hope to meet like-minded people and help initiate a programme/project for the disabled like the hearing impaired.

  2. Yes, Jassmine, to be able to live to a ripe old age and still be healthy and mobile is a real blessing, but that’s not all. To have one’s loved ones close by and close to you is an even greater blessing.
