    Signs of Old Age

     Fitted for my first pair of bifocals
    they make me see blurry
    I was told give it some time
    you'll adjust, don't worry
    I sigh as I carry groceries
    up our thirteen stairs
    The grays are taken over
    and I refuse to pull out hairs
    The veins in my hands
    I never saw before
    Skin always feels dry
    and my back often feels sore
    I must write things down
    or else I may forget
    I remember too much fluff
    and I often feel regret
    In some ways it was easier
    being young and full of steam
    but now I sit with my feet up
    sip my coffee and dream...

    TY-I've recently been through some trauma: so I have had somewhat of a 'mindblock'-this new game (new to me) really helped me think out of the boxes I have been in...Earthly

    Poetry comes nearer to vital truth than history.
