Wonderful.... enjoy writing till the end dear poetess. Loved this poem.

There is joy in memories! ! The older we get the more memories we have!

An interesting piece piece of poetry written with conviction.

Where has all my energy gone? I struggle to get out of bed, I search everywhere for my spectacles, ...but no obsession! Peacefully accept whatever comes in your way...a pragmatic write...top score!

I'm old, but, oh, boy! It brings me no joy! ... Actually, I'm not that bad off. I can't run every day like Robert does, though [bad knees, hips and ankles].

Thanks everyone for your comments x

But the old age has its own beauty, even though with aches pains & pills.

Oh to be young! To run in the sun, With the wind in my hair, wild and free, ....Good old youthful days!

A very nice depiction of old age.I enjoyed the poem in toto, but the last line is very memorable.Thanks that you are feeling happy despite the aches and pains. Regards to you..

I never grow old as I've been 35 years old for many years now! ! I walk, can run (if I have to) , cycle, have weights at home, do Shaolin qigong and yoga. Every little helps, as they say!
