Great lines! Really a poignant bit of verse on aging. A work of an intricate mind. Thanks for sharing and do remain enriched.
These are arresting thoughts about ageing, which includes me. Sometimes I think that I have got better and gained a lot as I got older. So far my memory is as good as ever. A most stimulating poem.
Thanks for the comment Michael. This was written while a full time carer for my mum who suffers from dementia.

She has lived a remarkable life and this was written with the intention of honoring that. I wish you many healthy years to come.
