Old Age? ? Poem by Mary Nagy
Old Age? ?
My age is getting up there.
Middle age is knocking on my door.
They say I shouldn't worry...
I'm only thirty four.
I'm noticing the wrinkles.
I sense that double chin
is creeping right up on me.
Fight gravity? ? I can't win!
I use to feel so youthful.
I thought I'd never age.
Back then I planted flowers.
Today I'm growing sage.
Sometimes I forget my own age.
It's not that I contrive.
Like when I wrote my bio here
I SAID I'M THIRTY FIVE! !
Is that a sign of old-age?
I'm sorry, Mary, I just cannot sympathize with a 34-year old complaining of old age.
Mary I agree with poetry hound, how can you think you are getting old when you are so talented. I am 62 and I still feel the same as I have always done apart from a few odd creaky bones. Loveing life, and every thing that it can give. It's so presious I call life my 'Gem' a gem make chip or scrach, and it could be as old as time it self Yet when it's polished up, It shows it grade in caret, s.
Mary, you may be growing older but your poetry will never get old. Great as usual. Brian
