THE AGE FACTOR IS A LIE: IT IS NEVER TOO LATE!
The poem below by Mr. Longfellow titled, "Old Age" will be our inspirational heater to our cold hearts.
"It's too late. Ah, nothing is too late! Till the tired heart shall cease to palpitate."
Cota learned Greek at 80! Mr. Sophocles wrote his grand Epidus and Sir Simonies bore off "the price of verse" from his compeers when each had numbered more than four score years(80 years)
Theophrastus at four score and ten (90) had begun his "Characters of men. "
Chaucer, at Woodstock, with the Nightingale at sixty, wrote, 'Canterbury tales.'
Goethe at Weimar, toiling to the last, completed, 'Faust' when eighty years were past.
What then? Shall we sit idly down and say the night hath not yet come, we are not quite cut off from labour by the falling light? Something remains for us to do or dare! "For age youth is an opportunity no less than youth itself though in another dress."
Even the old trees some fruits may bear. And as the evening twilight fades away the night is filled with stars invisible by day. " Yes, you must refuse to allow your age to depress you.

Refuse to lose hope at all, at any of your battles as you journey through life! Yes, determination and hope are your passports to success. Someone said: "When faith, temperance and other celestial powers left the earth, hope was the only 'goddess' that stayed behind. " Why not strive to cultivate the cheerful, hopeful disposition that will enable you to see the silver lining to every dark cloud? Never pity yourself, family, background, age or education. Keep hope alive. Hope is great 'echo of the spirit ' in us. Abraham, Sarah, Zechariah, Elizabeth (Luke1:7) rewrote their histories at "old age" you can never be too old for your miracle
Ella Wilcox wrote:"Hope lives in the future, but dies in the present. Believe in God and in thine own self believe. All that thou hoped for, thou has hoped for, thou shalt achieve. "
