Don't Argue With The Inevitable
My knees felt her,
while walking down the stairs,
sometimes this life,
just doesn't seem fair,
my faded brown eyes,
and thinning grey hair,
the way I sighed,
sitting down,
in my rocking chair,
wrinkles surprising me,
coming out of nowhere,
during breakfast,
as I recited my morning prayer,
aging hands folded,
beneath my chin hairs,
I ask him,
laying my soul bare,
"God, who have I become?"
I feel double dared,
It's just as I had feared,
I catch my mother's reflection,
while walking,
past the mirror.
