Emptying the Reserves

Growing older, one observes That energy starts waning. Though it’s not what one deserves, There’s no use in complaining. Aging throws us learning curves To deal with verve that’s draining. When nothing’s left in the reserves, It’s time for some refraining.

Youth is a mix of energy and frivolity, whereas old age is a mix of accomplishment, satisfaction and tears. / M

I emptied my last jar this morning. I should've heeded it's last warning. So now I'll go and get another. Oh for cryin' out loud, Oh Brother. You said reserves, not preserves. :) lol

Like that last line --- 'time for some refraining!' Truer words rarely spoken, Ilene. Nice one. ~ gw
