A house with stairs encourages
The residents or guests
To exercise a little
As the layout thus suggests.
The up and down momentum
Never registers a thought
As family members make their way
To rooms that they have sought.
But often people, as they age,
Have trouble with the stairs.
No longer can they race on up
Or they’ll trip unawares.
A move may be in order
To a nice one-level space
Where there isn’t any staircase,
Letting people age in place.
Though the stairs present no challenge
In my current fitness state,
Many others that I know will find
This hindrance out too late.
