Premium Member He Grew Old
When he was young. I thought he was old. It never occurred to me that I might be wrong. That old wouldn’t show up for years and years, decades even. He wasn’t tall like my grandfather. But he wasn’t short either. He had a habit of biting his cuticles that I inherited and would be...

Life Is Full Of Struggles As I Get Older
People say as I get older, I become more calm Enjoy the peace I never liked that kind of peace Bad luck when you are young Always struggling to survive Just thinking about doing things Use one day as several days Now I'm older, It's time to get some free time But my heart feels empty No matter if you take care of the children and...

Premium Member Five Years Gone
Five years have passed, we’re a little older This spring gets warmer every day It’s in the eye of the beholder The summer starts with rains of May You took advantage of this year You’ve got no more of age to gain No more of struggling with fear No more of worries and the pain ...

Premium Member the whys of older women
Do older women wear gloves To hide their wrinkles? Camouflage their age spots? To try to look fancy, dainty or demure? To look feminine? They usually wear pink, white, yellow or light green gloves. Few of them wear black gloves. Is this on purpose or by accident? Maybe manufacturers never make black tea gloves What is up with older women’s hair? Why do they dye...

Older Dad, Older Daughter
Jet-black hair faded to gray; tall, slender figure arched with age— sagging like the skin around your eyes so much like mine. Your loud voice has quieted and become gentle as the years have passed. Your once harsh hands now seek to guide me on paths I had to discover without you. Father, I wonder— while you have been present but still so far away— just how much...

Premium Member As I grow older
As I grow older, I need a shoulder The kind we need to shed our tears This older age passage is getting narrower The hours of the day drift past faster The night time visit is not welcome Time itself does not seem to matter My brain reacts the body does not follow Try to rekindle my Parents voices Failure brings tears as...

Sodium Orange Streetlight Nostalgia Trip
Zaila. Can’t make a Nickname out of that, But oh you can, Super-Z, you ‘member that. I rather not, There isn’t much to remember, I didn’t live much. Oh, but that coffee table, Mhm, yeah, I know the one, The one I’d play dolls under with my cousin, With Barbies too big to fit in my toy car, Then you remember how dark It’d get in...

Ha! The Older I Look, The Closer Seems Death!
By accident or fate, I have stepped on the threshold of delirious doubt, the older I look, the closer seems death; no voice is hopeless as mine, no sight gloomier than anything ever imagined: I've been a passing shadow over dearth! Ha! The older I look, the closer seems death, the expression of anguished fear is clear; only faith...

The Older I get
The older I get With each day passing by The farther my motion is set To the tune of what good come nigh. The older I get The better I strive to become; To rise above the neglect And to have things work in uniform. The older I get The deeper I became bequeathed With the truth of how life work And of how things became...
