Consistent Punctual

"Time marches on", consistent punctual
Bodies' cells repair keeping up for while
Then like morn's sky changes slower renewal
Body ages no longer agile

Acceptance of life's blows or Adam's sin
Makes getting older easier knowing
There is a better place than this has been
Where no more physical decline showing

"Time marches on", consistent punctual
I'll live each day doing best_most I can
With riches laid up gaining accrual
While I wear the soft shoes, sit on divan

Sara, I perceive a mature, seasoned lady as the writer of this fine poem (and rhyme is to my liking) as only a person who's been there, done that is able to write this well. Something at least, that youth is denied. Nice write!

I really enjoyed this awakening of age! We all get older, but someday...age won't show anymore and time will not be! Awesome write my friend! Great Work!!
