Deb M Poet Rhyme

-When Did I Grow Old

When did I grow old
Did it happen overnight
Was l young when l went to bed
Became old at the stroke of midnight

When did the lines on my face appear
My face and body start to droop
Sleep become a confusion
My favourite meal become sandwiches and soup

When did aches and pains take over my being
Turn into my main topic of conversation
My memory and ears start to fail me 
Hindering my communication

When did I lose spontaneity 
Start to worry more about the danger
When did I wake up
With a stranger ……
