Old?
I am now in my.middle age,and some will say,
' You are getting old.'
But as of yet, I have not looked into a mirror
That has cast its cold eye on me and declared,
' You are beginning to look old'.
Nor have I encountered a bicycle,that prior to boarding, has warned,
' Ride at your own risk,you are too old'.
Nor has a muffled voice whispered in my brain,
,'Act your age,accept.you are old'.
And as my.whole story is not yet told,
I,as of yet,cannot grow old.
