They change the laws of physics

When you get older

Gravity strengthens by the day

And stairs, once easily climbed

Get longer and steeper

Til one day, when you're not looking

They stretch out to infinity

You have a great way with words. I am now aging and this poems says very well the feelings I get when I can't do it as well as I used to. If you get a chance, read my poem "Invisible". I hope you plan to write more. GCR.
