It's Not Over Until It's Over

When quite young ageing wasn't in his thoughts life was for living, speed, fun and parties, late nights, late mornings, T-shirts, football shorts eat fast food, chase girls that looked like barbies, no cares, and no responsibility One night stands, selfish, hormonal, senseless, took chances, no vulnerability, time wasting, so much time to be reckless, months, years pass fast, fun becomes memories now funerals more common than weddings pains, aches, search for medical remedies peruse photographs, old films, his writings, he may be quite old but not finished yet there are things in life he still needs to get.

HaHa. We're never through learning, are we. I wish there were more "aging" poems on this site.
