A Cat To a Bird

Age, You come to me as a cat to bird Belly to ground with no sound heard. Fangs so sharp claws kept keen. You creep up slowly, yet unseen. How poorly you treat me, evil and mean. You weaken my sight; make it hard to read. You are so selfish and full of greed, You conspire with my mirror to lie to me. Gone, my youthful face to see, Gone the man I used to be. Hair falls from my head, grows on my back. My mind wander as thought I lack. No place to hide, no way to win, Surprise in my eyes is that of all men Same look on the bird that the cat drags in!
