Poems about Aging>
When you lose your hair and your hearing and your vision, it’s hard to find any humor in these all too human conditions. These poems were written from experience and, believe me, if you can laugh about aging body parts, you can handle the other problems life hands you. So read, enjoy and laugh!
Book Excerpt
WHIZZING BY
Now that we are growing old
And see life whizzing by
We wish that we could slow it down
Gain time before we die
Do all the things we didn’t do
Take trips we didn’t take
Squeeze in a lot of living
Before it gets too late
To move and think the way we’d like
With bodies much less agile
As each day comes we’re more aware
That we’ve grown much more fragile
But even though we feel our age
And think that life's a pox
Remember the alternative –
We could be in a box!
