Inside My Eyes

I’m growing old inside my eyes. Through that lens I cannot disguise. She saw them today while magnifying. Tiny cataracts is what she was spying. Emma the optician must be lying. I’m growing old within my knees. When I struggle to rise please don’t tease. Getting down is fine to light the fire. Only now I wish the range was higher. Being watched makes me even shyer. Im growing old but feeling fine. Now relaxing I type as I recline. No more worries with work stress. Old age really is the best antidote to being young. Sometimes it’s even a lot more fun.

I shattered every mirror in my house. I'm glad that you are feeling fine...Who said old age is really good, I will send all of my mirrors to his house.

Don’t do that Pashang. “Beauty is only sin deep.” The mirrors cannot reflect the heart and soul. Nice to hear from you. You certainly sound like you’re live and kickin’.

A positive attitude is the way to cope, Jean, and you seem to have one. Fun write to read.

Thank you Jenna. My eldest brother and I were recently counting our blessings and how wonderful it is to just sit back now and enjoy them.
