Getting Older

He sits in the nursing home confined to a wheechair for the rest of his life, still able to think, a prisoner in his own body.

I definitely am not getting older but younger 
                     
Reaching the age of growth pains now the bridger..

My Morning Telegram Chat

Getting older day by day
Sunrise, coffee, chat, hurray
Smiles, news, regrets and wins
Things to do and former sins

Embrace Our Age

May we be blessed to embrace getting older 
every wrinkle, every line…
because wrinkles are only the remnants
that our smiles leave behind

Old and Gray

With every passing day,
my youth goes away.
Getting older by the day,
and oh the pain,
And to think that one day
I'll be 
old and gray.

Getting Older

'Living with an angel
That's so true
She makes my life
Worth going through!

I'm getting older
But that's not sad
I'm eating ice cream
On a heating pad!

Color Deluged Time

In the heart of colorful autumn, skies were colored, too,
for flaming time was getting older, out in the hilly country.
Springtime's budding charm, lends a certain beauty to old age.

Still Got the Smarts

Here I sit in my big easy chair Getting older by the minute, losing my hair Still got the smarts But those big old farts Are making it hard to concentrate I declare

Ipso Facto

Getting older it seemed I was losing my grip.
Glasses would tumble before I could sip!
There must be an angle.
If it just had a handle...
There's nary a slip 'twixt the cup and the lip!

The Only Way

Complain not for getting older

For

The only way to stay alive it is!

Last Chance

It's the last chance to love
I'm running out of hope
it's hard to find a romance
when the time escapes the clock
I'm getting older and i feel like a failure
all i need is a chance to find a love

Spirit

Too much
too little
slow down
relax

don't anymore hear it
wind is loud
voices echo headily encourage 
shun your “thou”

sorry if it offends
you not me and....

getting older striving
forever to be free.

Getting Older

Oh my fellow mortals,

Shouldn't we stop complaining for getting older

When

We very well know, that it is the only way for us

Alive to stay?

Fishy End

He rued turning coward getting older, ate fish for dinner to become bolder. To get his own supply fishing he thought he’d try, drowned in rough river hit by a boulder.

So Insistent

I never wanted 
to be getting older and older
neither did I wish 
to hurt the feelings of time
-which often did that to me, though- , 
as it was so insistent,
I just decided to keep pace
with the passing days

If We Could Bottle Those Emissions

Our dog is sawing logs loudly
so many deep groans as she lets off gas
they smell like charcoal emissions
She is getting older, her snores are shaking the house
I wish we could bottle her emissions and run our car on them

Aging Is Exhausting

Aging is not easy, some days one feels like a sloth; lethargic. Sometimes one feels as though eating is, a dreaded and exhausting chore. But, one day you’ll realize, that bump on the log, is yourself!

Skin

I gaze upon my woman
at the softness of her skin.
It conceals a greater mystery
and a beauty that's within.

It's true she's getting older. 
The wrinkles will appear.
But I'll be here to kiss them
till they fade and disappear.

Dark Sunrise

The cup reminds me
 I’m getting older
The coffee hints
A bit more bolder

No milk, no cream
Just pour it steamin’
Caress the warm cup
While I’m dreamin’

The last sip cold
I’ll gladly slurp
And thank it loudly
With a burp

A Chippy Attitude

I've got a "chip" on my shoulder
Maybe cause I'm getting older
My attitude is split apart
Angel sweet and devil hot
Sometimes bad  sometimes good
I never know what kind of mood
I'll wake up to every time
But it made this silly rhyme

Forty

Forty old?  Hold your tongue.
Having children keeps me young.
Double forty?  I don't care.
I can travel any where.

Forty here and forty there.
Forty duo makes a pair.
Forty now?  Turn a page.
Getting older is the rage.

When the Kids Get Old 2

I still can not get to grips with
Or get my head around
My age getting old
So seeing the kids getting older
A few days away from 25
Quarter of a Century
My mind is blown
They were me once upon a time 
A life time ago
Oh no
Oh yes
