One thing I have noticed
As I have grown older
I no longer have
Those big broad shoulders
Sometimes I still believe
I can do the things I used to do
But I must face reality
For that is no longer true
As time washes over me
Speed and strength slowly disappear
However, sometimes in my mind
I think I can still get to fifth gear
Things I took for granted
In living everyday
Slowly become more challenging
As the years fly away

Great poem… although i myself am in my youth and feeling invincible; I still find myself looking to help those who aren’t as youthful
