Getting Older

Getting Older

Getting Older

 

 

As we grow older

 

There is no doubt whatsoever the hoops they set get smaller  

 

Not only that they are also more strategically placed and higher up   

 

Nevertheless take heed and mark these words well

my friend

 

As we grow older

 

There is a certain inevitability

 

Not everything gets harder and that’s for sure

 

That’s all I have to say

.

'Getting' rather than 'growing' older is my own feeble attempt to hold back the waves.....N

oh dear. This made me laugh. An all out belly laugh alone at my kitchen table. How wonderful. This needs to be on a plaque, a T-shirt, or a mug, or maybe, all three ...

It's a topic we think about often! We are always trying to obtain acceptance and grace! Also happiness increases with getting older... that is the satisfaction with life. I thoroughly enjoyed reading your words of wisdom.
