Decrepit Poem by Christopher Tye

Decrepit



Decrepit

Decidedly past my best,
Eking out life for as long as I can,
Creaking joints and an awkward gait,
Remembering the distant past of my youth,
Every day surviving becoming harder,
Powers of sight and hearing diminishing,
Intellect still sharp but nowt else,
Time running short as the journey closes.

It's only when we have reached a certain age we do realize the saying age is wasted on the young well when we were all young we thought we would live forever. But age doesn't come its self all aches and pain accompany it...ouchhhh. Annette
