Getting Old
It’s easy to feel old
when you get older,
little things like aches that linger,
work days that feel done after just a few hours,
sleep that feels done well before the sun will rise,
but being around my 3 year old grandson
makes me REALLY feel old,
older than my 64 years should feel,
but it also reminds me
what it was like to be 3
eager to do and explore,
ask and learn,
then do and explore a little more,
until it’s time for a nap.
I’m not quite at the age of naps yet,
but I certainly appreciate his.
