The Older I Get...: Light Verse from a Senior Perspective

by Don Weill, Linda Braucht (Illustrator)

Frank Lloyd Wright said that the longer he lived, the more beautiful life became. That's certainly the sentiment behind this irresistible book of verse that looks with warmth and wisdom at the joys and travails of growing older. Written over a period of forty years, Don Weill's verse delivers wit and, frequently, laugh-out-loud moments. Whether discussing a long wait in the doctor's office, a new romance, the birth of a grandchild, or the relativity of age, these verses capture the sweetness and poignancy of age. The perfect companion on a relaxing beach vacation or gift for grandparents, parents or any other cherished older adults-all will love these no-regrets reflections on the beauty and grace of maturity.
