The Incredible Aging Man

I am "The Incredible Aging Man" Aging right before your eyes Something that I plan to continue to do Until the day it is I died Watch as the wrinkles magically appear In the most unlikely of places See the thinning of hair, the enlarging of ears The forgetfulness of where I last placed it Learn how to use your patience As over time I am losing mine Using familiar phrases like it'll be okay And your going to be just fine Show up with your loud voices As my hearing starts to wain And feel free to read letters to me As my eye sight does the same Listen in as I moan and groan When weak in the knees I bend and buckle Come with me on the day they put me away As I become increasingly befuddled Sit with me here as into the distance I stare Forgetting now who it is I am I do so hope you enjoy the show Of this "The Incredible Aging Man"

I know what you mean Mike as I reach the end of my 50's next year! The baby boomer generation are now the golden oldies! God Bless!:)
