When Does One Get Old?

20 Mar

From the Heart

I woke up in the morning,

mind refreshed and full of hope.

There is so much I want to do-

all within my scope.

 

My spirit is willing, my mind alert-

I’ll spring right out of bed.

My mind is saying, “Go Girl”-

but my back says “Whoa”, instead.

 

Ego!  Yes, ego is the culprit

in this aging game we play.

I don’t mind saying “I”m 86”,

But “getting old?”  No way! “,
