Old age is like a carrion
With forces picking away
Slowly sapping your strength
Making you weaker day by day
Grit your teeth and bear it
Don't let it get you down
You are better off than you think
Your sorrows can't make you drown
Do what you can about it
Don't let it get to you
Go on and live your life
Before it's time to say adieu
a lot might be surprised, but i am having a ball with my age, my kids, grandkids, dancing, my life and of course my poems...it's not that scary after all!!
