Tired of walking these days
Your old body celebrates its 60th birthday
The moment, eyes too weak to be opened
Sights become too blur to welcome ray
What left only dream of past dream stained
Back to yesterday
Mourning for what u can't achieved
Living with someone you not trusted and believe
Make life so hard almost to cleave
Regret all mistakes that you left
Keep thinking what contribution u gave
And actually what you've given? ....
20years before...
Did you remember how much time you wasted?
Busy complaining of life to live in pain
Just need to end bad days, that all what you wanted
Still not to fight but surrender to illusion pain
You not kid anymore, cry and think future for granted
You were big enough to make a move, to make change through the rain
15 years before that
You were young and filled with energy
High dreaming, but just let dreams to be only a dream
You have many chances, but u afraid to make a change
Swept by your negative thinking, you lost your teenage dream
At this age, chances still come but you never did a change
Lost in life trick, you blind to see future beam
10years before
Grown up as teenager, fresher time ever
Explore yourself, everything you want to discover
Got high ambitious dreams and clever
Future will be bright if u has this courage forever
Frustration crying failed to stop u ever
8years ago before that age
Smiles, laugh, cry on your innocent face
Didn't know how hard life you will face
So brave, everything possible at this little age
Keep this u will be embraced by grace
When u were a baby
Nurtured with loves and raised with hopes
Be useful person, live in joy, your parents hope
Now, do you regret to break all the hopes?
Static like a statue you injected with fear dopes
Back to the present time
You still young and just preoccupied
Just wake up, open your eyes
Let the ray bring sight to your eyes
Waste time to lost hope,
New days come, bring new ropes
You only half way in this life road
Use your intuition at this crossroad
Drop your surrender, confidence to load
Look back, think ahead, do plan and think broad
One day, at 60years old fully loaded with smiles of gold
................................................................................................
Note: Don't give up, once you give up mean u have book
to have regret clouds for your old days...
For teenage friends here like me, let's chase dream! ! let past be the past

very inspiring and full of hope. at the age of 60 thinking of the past and its fears and lost chances you take a bold step to change ur destiny. life is what we make. i do not believe in a blind fate. naturally God is with the one who hopes and works hard leaving the sad past behind and jump forward. i appreciate your boldness even when you are not sure of the language that u write and convey such power in ur poem.. writing is always a sort of purification. it has catharsis. write more and send to us all. you will give us all more courage to live and to smile. thank you
15 years before that You were young and filled with energy High dreaming, but just let dreams to be only a dream You have many chances, but u afraid to make a change Swept by your negative thinking, you lost your teenage dream At this age, chances still come but you never did a change Lost in life trick, you blind to see future beam.......so true. Touchingly it has been inscribed the life journey from tin age to old age. A beautiful poem shared amazingly. Full vote.
I had tear drops felt the intensity of the poem, it was like a moment of truth reading And feeling the difeerent phases of life. Thanks for bringing it up.
Thank you dear, you have a gentle heart to feel it though i have difficulty to express it...But as we know different phases of life is real and we are entering without we noticing it, the feeling the responsibility and how we look life...To you dont look back if past is part of your black, future is where we make it white...turn to be ying yang...if it already beautiful, make future to level that you care less worry and dream like we were kids again but mature mind...There is changes of something, but let the changes be beautiful us for future....i do, you too and the rest we are making new life everyday...i know its hurts sometimes but we have to walk and walk and walk...thanks Black self for your kind and time :)
Magnificent, Soul. I read this several times and kept thinking of the 7 Ages of Man (Shakespeare) . There, life is meant to take place in a world that's a stage. There is an art framing the ages you describe here. There is a quality in which progress goes on, but in a sense we are standing still. Terrific poem, Soul.
Yes dear friend, I want to capture different progress, thoughts and mood of us in different time, era.. We have been manipulated by society and self experience struggles since year 1 to the future us.. Again you showing your kindness n how tolerable you are to me. When I reread my work again I feel like oh there are so much grammatical mistakes, silly one..feel sooooo shy.... You and other kind readers never use that to against my work, instead so supportive and only look at good side of it. MJ Lemon, thank you so much for a smile u put on me :)
Smiles of gold! ! With the muse of the old. Bold with your lines of Poetry. Thanks for sharing this poem with us.
Wonderful poem, age may wither our bodies over time but the spirit can remain strong.
Yes dear Chris, we should keep our interest of life like when we was a kid, always look things with all possibilities...and yes because so much thing going on when we growing old it make our heart, mind and soul almost forget it all...and to regret at the older age its not nice to have, thus we need to always be in the right mood and place to claim...Like what you said, age may wither our bodies but we are controling our life till the end, and we should never make life is nothing but interesting...as always :) Thanks Chris
