Reluctant To Age

This can't be my age! I am still young at heart The life of a party Though hitting the bed by ten Gained a few kilos of weight But can fit into my youthful jeans Grew sluggish and shorter in height Although ready for a morning jog Have to wear glasses now As the print size has become smaller A few grays in my hair don't tell my age Merely a fashion statement That adds a touch of elegance to my carriage My knees hurt from the cold not stiffness The reflection in the mirror shows what I'm not An elderly haggard lady With baggy wrinkled eyes and sagging jowls As my passions still drive me forward And I am still living my dream For age is just a number It's only the spirit that counts.
