Growing Old

Growing old is very strange

For certain things are bound to change

And others you must rearrange

To fit the way you’re feeling.

 

Since doing things requires pep

And sometimes just that extra step

Or daily items you must schlep

No longer seems appealing.

 

It’s easier to stay in place

In home surroundings you embrace

Instead of slapping on a face

To prove how well you’re dealing.

 

Not everybody feels this way.

Some forge ahead and greet each day,

Excited for whatever may

Bring joy to reach the ceiling.

 

Yet I don’t envy those who go

From here to there or to and fro.

I look inside myself and know

There’s nothing I’m concealing.
