Age Knocked On My Door

donnasaff

My head is in a real bad state

My memory is running late

I feel like I am going mad

My eyesight now is really bad

M teeth have now come to an end

Impossible to ever mend

My confidence has been destroyed

Through all the things I once enjoyed

My body is slowly packing up

Im full of broken veins

My bones which now need oiling

Are filled with aches and pains

Gravity has got a grip

The lines are clearly showing

Moustache and beard have just appeared

Facial hair is growing

My hair is thin, my eyes are dim

My ears no longer hear

Its time to face reality

Old age is finally here

All I seem to do these days

Is eat and watch the telly

Which makes it easy to explain

This rather fat round belly

My body is slowly dying

Still I try to look my best

There is no harm in trying

As I face eternal rest

I used to be afraid of death

But now I'm not so sure

It's something I've accepted

Since age Knocked at my door.

      WELCOME DONNA ~ A beautifully crafted poem (I love rhyming couplets !) about a subject that affect all of us ~ AGEING ! Your poem describes it beautifully and although I'm only one third through my life (33) the symptoms are encroaching ! Each day one's senses become a little more diminished. I work in a College with Young people (16 - 30) which is both an incentive to stay young and a reminder that I'm 30+ ! Your poem is very cathartic for the 50+ and you are "growing old gracefully and poetically" which is a BLESSING ! Thanks for sharing and caring ~ Yours BRIAN
