WHEN I AM 64

YIKES IT'S ME!!!!! HHHHHELLLLPPPP. S.O.S. NO I AM NOT SIXTY FOUR YET, HOWEVER, I AM ON MY WAY...THIS IS A SELF PORTRAIT IN TRIBUTE TO THE BEATLES SONG "WHEN I AM SIXTY FOUR"..."WHEN I GET OLDER LOSING MY HAIR (NOT) MANY YEARS FROM NOW...WILL YOU STILL BE SENDING ME A VALENTINE, BIRTHDAY GREETING, BOTTLE OF WINE, IF I'D BEEN OUT TIL QUARTER TO THREE...WOULD YOU LOCK THE DOOR? WILL YOU STILL NEED ME, WILL YOU STILL FEED ME...WHEN I'M SIXTY FOUR, WHHHOOO...." "INDICATE PRECISELY WHAT YOU MEAN TO SAY, YOUR SINSERELY WASTING AWAY, FILL IN AN ANSWER, FILL IN A FORM, MINE FOREVER MORE, WILL YOU STILL NEED ME, WILL YOU STILL FEED ME WHEN I'M SIXTY FOUR?" TIME TAKES IT'S TOLL ON THE YOUNG AND OLD AND ALL THAT IS LEFT IS THE SOUL, YEARS FLASH BY, TEARS CRASH DIE, EVEN THE BRIGHTEST STAR FADES, WHAT IS THIS LIFE WE HAVE MADE? WHEN ALL IS SAID AND DONE, SERIOUSLY MY SWEET BELOVED ONES... THE MEMORIES GAVE TO THIS LIFE SO BRAVE, EVEN THOSE IN TIME MAY BE FORGOTTEN. WILL YOU STILL BE A FRIEND TO THE FADING GHOST THEN, HOW THE WHEELS TURN FAST, SLOW, WHERE THE LOVE GOES... WHO KNOWS, TIME TICKS AWAY INTO YESTERDAY AND ALL THAT IS LEFT IS LOVE OR HATE, THE CHOICES MADE FULFILL FATE. I LOVE THAT SONG THE BEATLES SANG, "WILL YOU STILL NEED ME, WILL YOU STILL FEED ME WHEN I'M SIXTY FOUR." WILL YOU STILL NEED ME WILL STILL FEED ME WHEN I'M NINETY FOUR? GOD WILLING, BY HIS GRACE, MAY LOVE EVER BE THE FACE, THE HEART EVER BE THE PLACE WHERE HIS GLORY LIVES. GODSPEED IN PEACE SAINTS, THE KING OF KINGS CALLS YOUR NAMES. SINSEERLY CB

I LOVE this Christine! You are a very beautiful woman and it is the beauty from within that no amount of years will ever take away! I have been gone from AW for a long time and you are one of the people I missed most. Alot has happened in my life...3 surgeries...blah blah blah. But it is time I get back to the living and start sharing again. I am going to spend some time looking at what you have been up to...and I will start adding pics in the next day or so. Right now...AW won't let me complete my payment for another year...so I will try tomorrow. BTW....have you been selling anything off here yet? Your friend....Patti Jo

No matter what the years may be, you are stunning. Great shot of a beautiful woman.

My Dearest Sister Christine, Have I ever formally thanked you for Saving me from the destruction in my life? Well, if I have not, I would like to take this opportunity to formally THANK-YOU, for all that you have ever done for me. It would take numerous pages to reveal all the many times you have been there for me: and I could probably write a book on all the times you have saved me from Our Father Dearest, and from myself! You are the reason that I am strong; it is you my Dearest Sister that has given me strength to carry on in this life! I would be nothing without you&. So you see my Lovely Sister, it is not me that should be deemed the Iron Butterfly; it is you whom has created such a creature! What more can I say, you have the strength within, and I draw on that very strength. Your God given talents shine with the light of the Lord! So, Please!!!! KNOW THAT YOU ARE LOVED!!! Not only by me, but by the Lord God Almighty! Love You As Always! Sister Mary

Artist Reply: Hello, I am sorry I do not know what you mean by your comment. If your message is determental please refrain from commenting on my work, especially my self portraits. I have not tried to fool anyone eyes, this is me the way I am. I have tried to be an honest and loving person as a whole to everyone all my life. I have made a few mistakes and thought some of the wrong things at times but as a whole I am about love. I know that saying you wrote but I do not understand what you mean by it. In any event have a lovely day and may God be with you in all you do. Sinseerly Christine P.S. I am not a perfect person but I try to be as good as possible most of the time. Being good does not make me a worthy person, it just makes me one who is struggling to live right as anyone else, my hope and my treasure is in the gift of Jesus Christ as he died for all and his invitation to Glory for the world. I pray that all things lead to his Kingdom. In Peace to you Diane!

Sory I'm late, but been out of town. Very nice. Well 64 is still a few years away for me. I've always said that love is "falling in love with and image, and respecting, and admireing the person long after the image fades. Some how I have always seen the ladies in my life as they first appeared to me, with all the the breath takeing heart bounding that they generated at first meeting.

If the eyes shine so beautifully, if the heart is plenty of joy and peace, if the mind says we are still young, who cares about the age ?
