Youth and Age

The difference between youth and age

To me (one surely not a sage!)

Is not the wrinkles that you see

But what boils down to energy.


For when you’re young, you go-go-go,

No need to pause or take it slow.

Each day unfurls and you proceed,

Your body helping you succeed.


Yet as you age. your bones protest 

And may demand a little rest.

You close your eyes for just a sec -

An hour later - what the heck?!


Once there were ads for Geritol,

For “tired blood,” as I recall,

But nothing can prevent the time 

Of knowing you have passed your  prime.
