Have you noticed that you do not feel old until one day you simply notice you are?
HUH!
It's interesting.

Good Grief, I’m Old!

When I awoke this morning and began to comb my hair

I found that all I could do was stand before the mirror and stare.

My forehead has become more dominant and my thinning hair is turning gray.

When I brought my hand up to my lips in astonishment I found I found that all I could say

Was, “Good grief, I’m old, wrinkled, weathered and frail.”

I found my eyebrows had even grayed and my skin was tattered and pale.

 

What could I do but sigh and go about my morning bathroom chores.

I guess old age simply comes with living and is simply something one endures.

So I simply went on with my day but I really must admit I wonder why it is that we do not notice

That our old age is coming until we find it is upon us.

Hi Lew,

How true the words you write. I didn't want to say it, though.. smile. I looked at your bio and really enjoyed your youtube blip of your book. Very unique approach. Loved it! Thank you for sharing.

In Spirit,
Bear

Perhaps we just don't want to notice, Lew; it's called denial. You provide pause for reflection here. Thank you. Love and peace to you,

Regis
