Time Is The Enemy Of The Old Poem by Shalom Freedman

Time is the enemy of the old
I know I have at best
Only a few years
Of fairly strong health life
But I cannot stop the Time
Nor can I really measure it
For most likely the break will come suddenly
And I will be on the other side
Before I can take action against it
Sooner than I know
I will be among the frail old
Unable to do much of anything
Time is against me
And virus or not
Before I know it
I will be knocked out.
