Old Age, Go Away Poem by Michael Peterson

When are we consider old?
When did the years past, so quickly
Being a kid with no worries
To a teen with rebel ways, to parents dismay
Young adult leads to a partying way
Maturing thru the years to become a respected adult
Responsibilities and family life changes people
Before time fly, aging needs a break
For real it does, it's not fair to fly
Middle aged, worn out, heading for retirement
Can't wait for that day, everyone says
To tell the truth, I rather work, that's my pitch
Getting old for the rockers and the canes
Just has to stay away, I have so many things to do
See more the world, meet many people
Play with the kids and the grand kids
Stop that hour glass from draining
I have a lot of things on my mind
Time will take my mind
The wrinkles and the gray hair can wait
Same with the balding
Aging for years can wait, oh it can wait
Young and childish mind, I have
Will make me feel young, well into my years
Till it catches my worn, broken body
Old age stay away, For I am young
