observations on getting old

You go to a room
And don't know why
You try to think
And gently sigh
You're getting old!

All seems going to hell
Prices up, quality down.
At all things new
You fret and frown
You're getting old!

You solemnly pontificate
Very often grimly say
To the younger ones
"See! In my day."
You're getting old!

Wizened head you shake
Simply can't believe
The world has changed
And heavy sighs heave
You're getting old!

When people call you
'Pop', 'Mister' or 'Sir'
And hold doors open
You can surely infer
You're getting old!

All things in life
Last just a while
Relax and let go
Enigmatically smile 1 You'll never get old!

I’ve always liked observation poetry, and this is a really good one! Write what you know, and writing doesn’t get old. Thank you for this ~~ djl

Part of being old is to accept change without having to chase after it. Once you do that, things become a lot easier to accomplish as our brains gradually lose the flexible power they once had when it came to facing the day's challenges.
