Wednesday's Poetry Day ~ Growing Older

When granted many years of life, growing old in age is natural, but growing old with grace is a choice. The clock never stops and never waits. The trick is growing up without growing old. It's life's plan after all and enjoyable if you accept it. So my friends here is another poem version of mine dealing with that fact.

Growing Older

Yes, older and wiser I've become
Well anyway older that's for sure
Daily things I've forgotten some
Each day I forget something more

Where did I put that set of keys?
They aren't where I saw them last
Oh Lord, someone help me please
This time is moving way too fast

Now I don't mind this aging thing
And I don't mind my wrinkled face
Or forgetfulness aging will bring
I only wish it would slow the pace

The saying goes what will be will be
And some memories are best to forget
Growing older is surely not up to me
So accept growing older with no regret.
