A simple poem dealing with the joys of growing older

 

Too Old!!!
© 5/22/10
Dr. James E. martin
 
I may be old
Wrinkled and gray
I am often told
I, therefore, cannot play.
 
“Why is it thus?”
I often ask.
Creates quite a fuss
As I pursue this task.
 
“You’re only as old
As you feel.”
In this I’m bold
I, therefore, appeal.
 
Now I play
Day after day.
Hope I’ll stay
Forever this way.
