Growing Old
An Inspirational Poem on Aging
When I was young I viewed aging with fear,
And guess what it is finally here!
And I actually realize that to age is not bad,
Considering the full life that I’ve had.
For with growing older there are actually perks.
You become older, wiser and readily recognize jerks.

In youth I could be fooled and looked at the world in wide-eyed wonder,
Now, I can reflect, sit quietly and often ponder.
I have new life experiences yet to be revealed,
Such as menopause, senior citizen discounts and natural herbs that heal.
And so as I age one thing is for sure,
With God the father beside me there’s nothing I can’t endure.
Be it rickety aging bones, sore muscles or pulled nerves,
GOD is the perfect vessel to use while riding life’s curves.
