Time Has Carried Me

Time has carried me so close to old age
Will acceptance be added to my traits
Accepting comfy shoes, not latest rage
Having become old__many varied weights

Hobbling to a electric grocery cart 
Every time  visit Wal-Mart, grocery
Definitely does not look very smart*
But time hasn't carried to cemetary

What about cane or horrible walker
Acceptance with time maybe be mellow
Maybe even become a sweet talker
Or cataract surgery_ odd fellow

Time has carried me_acceptance my plea
Live my life with grace and each day with glee

I've sampled most of these things - walker, cane, glaucoma, cataracts. asthma...on and on. But! There is something kind of rewarding in growing old. Depite cataracts and glaucoma, pacemaker, and the rest, my eyes are open, my mind free. I like your idea about living each day with glee. Love, Dave
