I Don't Want To Grow Old Poem by Donna Saphier

Little grey hairs
Are starting to show
I'm a bit confused
Why I feel so low

Veins in my face
That look like a map
Every five minutes
I'm taking a nap

Wrinkles now show
On my neck and my face
My body no longer
Can keep up with the pace

I've got hair up my nose
And hair in my ears
That was always one of
My worst fears

I think dementia is creeping in
So now I forget cause I'm letting it win
Help me with ageing
I'm scared to grow old

My skin is so thin
So I'm always cold
I don't want to grow old
I just want to be me

And never to die
See eternity
So please someone help me
To delay this process

Because once I was
The one with the mostest

Can keep up with the pace
