Growing Old Ain’t For Sissies

Growing Old “Ain’t” For Sissies
Miracle Man
1/28/2025

Advanced age took from me my aspirations,
often health matters top my list of concerns.
I’ve spent time recovering from ablations,
and relive my past expecting no returns.

My remaining years are misnamed as gilded,
While in many cases they resemble rust.
Things I once accomplished I wish I still did,
but it's in God’s hands that I still place my trust.
