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

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.
May we be blessed to embrace getting older
every wrinkle, every line…
because wrinkles are only the remnants
that our smiles leave behind
'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!
Morning routines are getting tougher.
It's hard being the sexy alpha male.
Sometimes forget I'm getting older.

October
Mowing over
Buy blower
Flame thrower
Leaves smolder
Smoky odor
Feeling bolder
Getting older

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
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.
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!
Complain not for getting older
For
The only way to stay alive it is!

* This Epigram is the gist of my previous poem:
MY AGE AND I.
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
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.
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?

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.

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

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
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 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!
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.
Beautiful woman
Twenties or thirties
Schooling or career
Lovers and boyfriends
Best times of her life
Getting older
Gotten smarter
Beauty within
Stability
Golden years
Grandchildren
Gratitude
Tranquil
Wisdom
Time
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
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 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.
