She bent down to tie her shoelaces held that position for a moment Was there anything else she should have done when she was first down here? if she did it right - one time was enough There were dust bunnies under the shoe shelf - leave the rabbits alone pleasant with some company The dizziness came on suddenly and unexpectedly a daunting task

So true, Anne-Lise. As we age we need to be careful are there's a price to pay. From the image, it looks like a challenge to bend down a tie her shoes. lol Smiles ~ Blessings my friend. Bill

This is aging humour. When I drop something, I pick up with broom and duster, Nice poem.

love it love it love it.... I have a silly complaint that is not at all conducive to bending down. My doctor told me this. " If you drop it on the floor,- you don't want it any more" ....... Your poem is perfect Anne -Lise. Great big hugs.

I like how you treat a serious subject with a touch pf humour, Anne-Lise. I must admit age tends to sent little cautionary messages now and again (but do we always heed them!!) :) Regards & Hugs // paul

The two ending lines spell the essence of your poem for me, Anne-Lise. Everything becomes daunting as we age.
