another poem from my memory bank

AGE 
    comes upon us all
gradually realisation
      hits      all of a sudden
Hearing no longer
acute
     comments & questions 
need a repeat 
    in a world  no longer distinct

One day
     we need assistance 
with
   what
       others voice and say
an aid to
complement the grey

AGE comes upon us 
       so gradually realisation
hits all of a sudden
floaters appear
 in our eye
magnification is needed for
    near and far
the exit door is ajar

AGE comes upon us 
      gradually
 realisation 
hits  all of  sudden
      fingers have nodules
& bumps
       & no longer grip 
to prevent a fall
        we walk with a stick

sometimes
'senior moments' we often recall
      when the realisation
of age
      gradual creeps up
 on us all
