Hey-you are so right htings do become old and even my shoes too. Just about anything and everything grows old. It is so amazing that we as writers can write about anything and everything.

I think if things are going well, I don't mind those extra wrinkles.
When times are stressful, I feel their weight on my skeleton, for sure...

We cannot stop time, but can live through the memories, good and bad, time and time again. You are as young as you feel if you want to be and I think, deep down, you have a wonderfully youthful spirit! Lovely poem Fee, that reminds us we should savour every second. Love Panda :)

I don't mind growing old..indeed it has been a GROWING and THAT'S what makes it a blessing..just think what those wrinkles would say..there's history imprinted within each one..I'd say mostly good..wouldn't you?

Profound piece Fee..

an introspective write, Felix, sad and haunting. Don't many of us feel that way at times; but I pop out of it shortly!
*Are those old wrinkles really mine*
I love it!

Peace. Joyce

Aging is always on the horizon it is a time of transitions, the poem is sad for when left alone it seems to be so sad. I agree with Robert on this one. Nice expressions....

Thank you,

though i completely understand the intent of this poem, don't look at aging as becoming old, look at it as growing young with discovery and wisdom ...

Old stories still keep us warm with the love we all share. You aren't old Fee...you're waiting for your second wind.

I'll be gone for a while...to Florida to a wedding. Keep the faith and may all positive energies come your way.

Love,
Susan

(clapping) this is a great piece, Fee. It's sad, yes, but it's not overly done so as to be 'sappy-sad' -- your readers can and will relate. Excellent piece and, again, I applaud you.
Love,
CJ
p.s. you aren't old
