Four Steps At a Time

over the years 
I have sped up and down 
many stairs
one step 
two steps 
three steps
four steps
at a time

as I’ve gotten older
I take fewer steps 
at one time
and go slower

is it for the lack of energy
the fear of falling
are my legs getting shorter
or as I would like to believe 
is it just me 
thinking  
as a  benefit of getting older
