-Losses And Gains

Good old ageing inevitably involves loss
Affecting our faculties 
Varied for each individual
Different losses ,different degrees

Frustrating and difficult it is
A struggle at times to say the least
Adjusting and learning to cope with
“Life’s old age beast”

Along with losses there are personal gains
We individually accrue
The greatest blessing age has gifted me
Is absolute appreciation and gratitude!

These are words of pure wisdom, dear Deb.. You always write on such deeply thoughtful themes that compel the soul to look with insight.. With time, we develop the feelings of gratitude and appreciation, as we begin to look at life from a higher perspective.. You are indeed a very beautiful, wise, strong and inspiring person dear poetess.. And I really admire that! Thank you so much for your lovely presence and kindness always, sending you light & best wishes ~ :)

Deb, your poem beautifully captures the essence of aging, acknowledging the inevitable losses we face. The eloquent words remind us of the challenges, yet your uplifting conclusion on personal gains, especially the gift of appreciation and gratitude, resonates deeply. Well done! - Blessings, Daniel
