Aging

"Aging"

As the age's number increases
So do the aches and pains;
So does the number of losses
With less and less gains.

When ready for some wisdom,
As the foolish years wane,
So then comes the time
For senility of the brain.

Yes, Aging is a charmer
Only if along the way,
We maintain as our armor
A sense of humour every day!

Caren Krutsinger Date: 6/8/2018 9:26:00 AM Without a sense of humor, I do not think I could be as old as I am. That is for sure! It helps life be livable. Login to Reply Artsieladie Sharon Donnelly Date: 6/10/2018 9:05:00 PM Well now, Caren, ain't that the truth! Same here. Having a sense of humour and being able to laugh at oneself are essential in life, me thinks. Thanks always for your thoughts. They're always a pleasant plus with my poems. Have a happy day. :) ~ Artsie

Jan Allison Date: 6/7/2018 7:19:00 AM I try and maintain a sense of humour even at the most difficult times in my life and try and make folks smile with my silly poems:-) hugs jan xx Login to Reply Artsieladie Sharon Donnelly Date: 6/10/2018 8:22:00 PM Yes, humour helps tremendously, Jan. Thank you for your silly poems. They're always the best medicine for turning the corners up into a smile, when they want to point down into a frown. Have a pleasant day/eve. :) hugs ~ Artsie xx

Tom Cunningham Date: 6/7/2018 4:23:00 AM Brilliantly put Artsie, aging sucks big time, but keeping a sense of humour certainly helps. Tom Login to Reply Artsieladie Sharon Donnelly Date: 6/10/2018 6:58:00 PM Yeah, it does, Tom. The mind's still willing but the body says, "Now, wait a minute. Your chicken has lost its spring!" lol I think a sense of humour is needed throughout life but even more so as the years add up. Thank you for your thoughts. Have a great week. :) ~ Artsie
