AN OWL
He was once strong, bright, young and agile.
Today feels he old, easily tired, sad n fragile.
People mock at him, calling him senile.
Feels he like an old owl now, who can't fly a mile.
Nature has her ways misterious even weird sometimes.
Impaired sight, hearing, smell n activities all slowdown many times.
In youth, he was a champ, an expert, who won many a race.
An athelete once upon a time; now cannot climb a staircase.
An old debilitated owl he is now; no more a cash cow.
Awaiting he is his turn to go up, anytime now.
