When It Comes To Ageing
When it Comes to Aging
By happenchance of birth---
Circumstances of life withstanding---
We enter into life, with genes marking
Our attributes of features obtaining
See my Mother and her ancestors
See my Father and his ancestors
Characteristics we have of all
Seen while still in our baby cribs
Topographies of structured ageing
Mapped by chromosomal donating
Face of my mother and hers
Height of my father and his
Factors deal in with living of life
Cleanliness marks of Godliness
Nature too takes its living toll
Lifestyle and choices add to the roll
