Deb M Poet Rhyme

-The Joy of Ageing

My comfort zone is getting smaller
As the years pass by
I am definitely getting stranger
Ditzier also applies!

Distraction happens so easily now
My mind is neither here nor there
Thoughts regularly float out of my mind
Vanishing into thin air

I do not mind ageing 
It comes with many benefits
However, forgetting and loss of memory
Now, that really does give me the s**ts!!

Forgetting the reason I walked in a room
Not remembering to complete a chore
Words, names all slip my mind
Misplaced, lost items galore

Another negative with ageing
Is the body breaking down
Aches, paints and ailments
More as each new year comes around

Yet, I am happy, as I am alive and grateful
Able to appreciate and enjoy each new day
As I am loved , and I love
What more do I need, what more can I say!
