Poems
Nov 2021
Remembering the days of our youth.
First it's the knees that let us down,
then it's our back and arms.
Next we lose our balance
and we struggle to move along.
We worry about all kinds of things,
paranoia is no ones friend.
Problems increase and multiply,
they just never seem to end.
Now our teeth start to crumble,
no longer the grinding mill.
We visit the dentist often,
as we have certain teeth to fill.
Our taste buds start to fail us
and we struggle with our sight.
We would love to go out in the evening
but we get scared when it's dark at night.
Do you remember when we were younger,
when we were in our youth?
We really were so happy,
our photos are living proof.
But now we are much older,
our youth is left in the past.
Those days we still remember,
oh if only those days would last.
Inspired by the book of Ecclesiastes chapter 12 .
