Facing Decrepit Stage Courageously

Becoming decrepit is an inevitable occurrence Challenging wellness of its real consequence Oldness evidently attacks, confronting my denial’s insistence… Now, I must be ready midst time's persistence To face frailty courageously with joyous iridescence! Undoubtedly obvious Physical debility shows how life is precious Prodding me to value moments, being cautious Warning me that I can be both anxious and oblivious… Thus; my strength today should be spent graciously victorious! Seriously at work well The aging process grips every cell Exposing grey hair, weakening body’s fuel Even diminishing functionality the spirit doesn’t tell… Now, I welcome it; while in my tasks, I should still excel! Incredibly dominant midst my midlife stage Growing old charges me to use its great advantage Teaching with wisdom, led by God Who does manage Along His love and grace-might of increased faith’s gauge… I ought to keep on serving joyously, subduing dilapidation’s wreckage.
