Advanced Years
Advanced Years
Miracle Man
8/28/2023
I’ve heard it said “that age is just a number”,
a line probably coined by some young squirt.
Years have a way and life it will encumber,
advanced years leave us trying, not to overexert.
Age takes our ability to do mundane things,
but we do our best to accomplish what we must.
While feeling the harshness that each day brings,
we cling to desire while struggling to adjust.
“If you wait, all that happens is that you get older”
Larry McMurtry
