Notes About The Poem

Written 18th January 2025

When you are old - Poetry Conrest - Sponsored by: Sarah Kendrick

When you are old

Wrinkles are souvenirs of life’s odyssey,
the joy, the sorrows and its novelty.
Quote - Poets Own

When one’s elderly with an aging face
And you're pondering on where time has gone
Or from where wrinkles suddenly came from
Winging supersonic from outer space.

Thinking back to those carefree sunny days
When one was enjoying youthful glory
One's spectacular historic story
When life was wonderful in many ways.

When falling in love was super splendour 
And bliss was found in a loving first kiss
From the only one who'd up your heart skip
Memories that linger in minds harbour.
