Categories: Old Age
I feel very old and tired today
The weather doesn’t help, very dull and grey.
Sometimes I wish I could return to the past
When I had vigour, energy; could move about fast.
But the years of time have caught up with me
Have turned me into someone I don’t want to be.
Someone who is often ill, weak and ailing
Whose physical faculties are gradually failing.
Whose mind struggles to grasp something new
Striving each day to see things through.
But no one can ever turn the clock back
So I will just have to learn to live with the lack.
The lack of so much I could do before
How easily I was able to pass through each door!
So many doors are now closed; life is tough
In my old age I hope that my love is enough.
