Vickey Rhymer Poet Rhyme

Acquiescence

They came in the quiet of the wee hours
before the light was born

Unaware I slept like the dead
While my youth from me was torn

First I lost a sparkle or two
And faded ever so slight

Time bandits about me
Lining my face without fight

Thank God I never was about my looks
An investment  I knew sure to fail

The loss of vital energy
Is the thing of which I rail

I never will grow old again
I might as well embrace it

Enjoy what I can ignore what I can't
Untill such time as I quit

Gershon Wolf October 24, 2023 at 8:45 PM Love the lines, "I never will grow old again // I might as well embrace it" -- Such an interesting approach to what I now think are really tough, challenging years. I think I'm gonna look at my advancing age this way too. Thank you!! I mean it, 110%. With gratitude, Gershon Vickey Rhymer October 28, 2023 at 10:05 PM Thank you my friend Gershon.
