who's getting old? |
Wait a minute, what the heck? (My kids are in their thirties) I go to a calendar and check; It's hard to see straight when my eyesight is a wreck. My hair is gray and thinning, And my body is in decay; It is hard to engage in the battle; I find I'd rather not go, but stay. It's supposed to be easier when someone gets older; But I find I cannot compete, I am not getting any bolder. So I trudge along quietly, But I do not doubt and fear, I only hope for a few visits, So I don't entirely disappear. 17 lines Written for Senior Center Forum |
