Getting Older

FredPeyer

I guess I have to accept

Getting older

Don’t have to like it though

I can still get excited

Seeing a girl in tank top and shorts

Only now I don’t do

Anything about it

More and more

My life plays itself

Only inside my head

In there I never get old

Can forever do

Whatever I want

Without consequences

Or regrets

The secret life

Of an old person

I can be as silly

Or stupid as I want

Surprise even myself

With my intellect

There is no bucket list

Everything is possible

And nobody

Nobody

Tells me what to do

        A super write Fred.

        My father is 81 and is fit as a fiddle and very youthful for his age. His secret he doesn't think age.

          Thank you FineB!
          I wish your father (and you) all the best. Great to hear about him being in such great health. As long as we have health and as long as the brain is not doing its own thing, we will be fine.

            Mahalo for your comment! Yes it is nice here, especially if you enjoy looking at the ladies in shorts, or bikinis. I do not consider myself a dirty old man, I just enjoy beauty, be it in nature, a painting, or a beautiful woman.
