Life for the Aged

 

Life for the Aged

Old age comes with an eighteen wheeler’s load of hurt.
Old age comes with the rest of life, permeated with pain.

Old age comes with loads of memories, experiences missed.
Old age comes with loads of memories, experiences to relish.

Old age becomes moments for reminiscing, looking back into the past.
Old age becomes the catalyst that brings one to memories that once were.

Old age becomes the walls that block one from experiences, no longer able to be.
Old age becomes the barrier that prevents many from living the life they once did.

Old age becomes the obstacle to journeys, to adventures once prolifically brought light.
Old age becomes the impediment that has brought life to these very unfulfilling moments.

A Story

 

Grave Yards

 

At Last

 

 

Soupers

 To the worlds of Poets out there.
Thank you for showing you care.

 In knowing you have read my word.
The meaning, the essence you have heard.

This, for the most part, I just discovered.
Poetrysoup, in an email yesterday, uncovered

 nine full pages of your comments and praise.
This flattery, these honors, the bar doth raise.

 I will have to become more diligent at my hobby.
Be more grateful to those who have stood by me.

Thank you one and all !!!
As Always Bill .
