Just being happy with age.

Friendship

At dawn I wake with a creak and a groan,
My trusty old body, a rickety throne.
These joints used to dance, they owned the whole floor,
Now they shudder and squeak, "Please, not any more!"

 

I searched for my keys, oh where could they be?
Found them in the fridge, next to last week's brie.
I call my own name, but recall not the why—
Ah, wait! I remember! It's time for a pie!

 

My hair's turned to silver, with hints of deep gold,
Each shimmering strand, a true story retold.
I've banished the mirrors, their judgments are rough,
They're quick to remind me, "You've had quite enough!"

 

My reading glasses now play a sly game,
They hide better than kids, oh what a shame!
I search like a sleuth, with a tracking-dog's zeal,
"Is that my nose, or the remote I now feel?"

 

I may lose my balance while taking a stride,
But with laughter and grace, I still take it in stride.
A toast to the wrinkles, the laughs loud and clear,
Aging's a journey, but at least I'm still here!

 

So here's to the ladies, both sassy and bold,
Who handle each struggle, with humor unfold.
With a wink and a chuckle, we face what we must,
For life's all about joy—laughter's a must!

    A wonderful message at the end and peppered with a self laughter at aging. Nicely done
