My Bath Is Not the Same

My relaxing baths are not the same Because I am not the same I know when I get down into a tub, I might not be able to get back up out of it now How rapidly I changed from a little girl To an old woman Not realizing what it meant Age did not sneak up, I blinked and she was here. She slapped me in the face I used to love a bath! The more bubbles the better I cannot have bubbles anymore because of my asthma I worry when I get down low I cannot get out of this tub. When did I transmogrify from a young girl to a dinosaur? I growl with fierceness and make my own bubbles.

A fun/cute write. Getting older and getting down does not work so well. I love my showers. Have a great/blessed day...................

I’ve baths but are they worth the trouble? Probably not

You would be surprised at the number of elderly women I have had to help out of the swimming pool or jacuzzi! But a good float is worth the risk? Aloha!

I love your poem, Caren, but I’ve always been a shower person - even as a little girl. Still, I can 100% relate to the aging part…

I love it, Caren. I, too, always enjoyed my occasional bath (as opposed to the routine shower), but now if I got down into the tub, I'd have to have someone haul me out of it. Not a pleasant thought. It's one of life's small pleasures I truly miss.

A good bath, like a good engagement: always a ring
