Powerful write William! Very timely generations to come will appreciate as I do the words in every line! "Erosion of time"
profound indeed! You are a wonderful man....blessed by Abba Father,
and each day He is imparting His strength....renewing your courage
to go on in His grace! Blessings and His favor always be upon you
William......keep on writing!!!

Much Love,
Margaret

and my sweet mother just turned 93... that's scary!
a marvelous capture, william.
be well,
carolyn

ps- there are meds for that bothersome drip, drip ;-)

a truly profound write, William!

I have no idea what happened. I was once young and able to do so much automatically and now I spend more time planning how I should make each movement to conserve as much energy as I can. Excellent write, my brother. From a retired officer on the West coast.

Time has a way of catching up to us all. Sadly we can't stop whats happening . We can only endure and go forward...M

Wonderfully written sad place many of us will reach.

Splendid writing William, I myself sometimes feel like the tin man in the mornings...I need a squirt here and there to get moving...(smiles) but I never want to stop moving.
peace and love, Carole~

E x c e l l e n t. . .and unfortunately, all too t r u e for a lot of us.
Got a birthday [plus a daughter's] & a wedding anniversary this
month, & it is especially hard to maintain the 'tude I have worked so hard at. Lotta people say they're not afraid to die. I'm not so
afraid as terrified. Not ready to go! Not likely to ever be.
Sure there are bad days -- gettin' closer t'gether, sigh --,
but I wanna see what happens. Got all those miles to walk.
Okay, stagger or crawl or wheel. Whatever!

I mean, like, this is IT.

Want to read more great poems like William Bonilla writes.

Want to eat more ice cream and cake.

Want to see more roses, and pet more dogs and cats, and...say you
get my drift? Time to shut up?

Please live into your 100's, & never stop writing.

aging is not for cowards my friend. well penned.

When I was with dad on his hospital ward, full of older people I wondered about each person and how they lived 70, 60, 50, 40 years ago.
With age comes wisdom, enlightenment and a free TV license.

time is tough on us-hang in there and taske care of yourself, this is well expressed

William,
This is delivered with just the right force
and the control wisdom and skill know.
Yes, it's tough but it isn't harsh...
and it's real.

You, dear sir, are a very creative & prolific writer! I hope you are compiling your works into book form. Keep up the good work!

So nicely done William, One leg at a time, one drip at a time. Whatever it takes, one day at a time.

Thanks Dick

I love this poem Bill as I believe anyone facting the aging process will. In my doctor's office is a poster that reads, "Growing old isn't for sissies." I find your poem encouraging and I love the stanza:

Staring at the door
Until
The courage is gathered
For him to slumber
Across the room.

Blessings,

William,
That look back feels so sad. The topic is timeless. Great write. Love and Hugs,

You have captured the image of aging so marvellously. It is a stage we are all coming to, or already living with. Great poem, William. get off the bed. You can still push or even kick.

Reflected with great care, William. Bless you,
Christine

You "speak" for many through your words here, William. Love, peace, and best wishes,

We need to adapt to make it over hurdles life gives us...we never know what each day will bring.....be strong!
Blessings,
Christine

Well William at least you can get up out of bed, it could be worse. Embrace your life, and I know you, you are a good man, a wonderful grandfather and a loving husband.
It is your time now, to enjoy your life and be glad for all of life's small things...

Much peace, love and light,
Amber

Aging has its disadvantages doesn't it? However, every day is still a gift to treasure....nicely penned, my friend.
