OLD AGE
You start looking into mirror
Note changing shades of hair
Turning from black to gray
Shows old age begins this way.
Unavoidable, , problem ridden phase
Old age , for everyone inevitable phase
Problems physiological , emotional
And biological, make them functional
Clarity of thinking begins to reduce
Memories of people and places confuse
Decline or cessation of sex
Bone diseases begin to vex.
Old age most unexpected one sees
Bringing wrinkles, sagging bodies
Frustrating forgetfulness to man
Conquer with positive outlook you can
Average life expectancy gone up
Past in a rosy way begin to look up
Emotions and memory there is a link
In younger ones you find it weak..
More time enjoy with family
Get more respect and less stress
Attitude governs health, happiness
Change from silver plate means less.
Health , income,contribute to happiness
Find in comparison to youth days less
Look through the past with a rose lens
Weakness in you, yet optimistic remain.
Begins the body to sag, jaw and cheeks
eye socket bases wear down begins
Plummeting cheeks sway in breeze
Old age one begins to perceive.
Build in yourself sense of humour
Emotions responding to humour ever
Helps in management of stress
You overcome the aging process.
In old age sleep not that sound
Hyper blind to distractions around
More liberal in all attitudes
Be it politics, religion or sex issues.
Old age with feelings insecure
Look around seeking attention sure
Minds settled, no burden for children
Life goes on , love from around drawn.
Concentration diminishes with age
Conversations reduce with age
Whispers fail into your ears
Forgetfulness raising with years.
Arthritis the stiff or painful joints
Delay the process with exercise ,a point
Avoid onset of Alzheimer
Avoid loneliness, social meets matter.
Hyper tension an old age disease
With exercise, weight reduction cease
Eye problems crop up with age
Nutritious intake, check vision always.
Believe in God ,He has plans for you
Do on your part what is due
Spiritual happiness dies not with age
Let love be governor at this stage.
A lady at ninety eight asked on old age
Replied twenty years to middle age
Build in you always confidence
Live your life full of essence.
