OLD AGE BLUES (Free verse) by massangel62
today you turned 40
39 left yesterday
soon will come the wrinkles
your hair will start to gray
your skin will turn flabby
then you start to shrink
you'll study yourself in the mirror
and then you begin to think
you try to remember yesterday
and when you looked real great
but how can you remember
when your brain is being ate
by old age creeping up on you
on your body and your mind
your bones are turning brittle
and your eyes no longer shine
but there's two things that won't go away
if you fight those old age blues
it's the smile you give so kindly
and your friends who do like you.
