Old Age

I shall never again be as young as today

Old and feeble years may be on the way

So far, I have little to regret

But then again, I’m not dead yet

Wrinkled skin and tired back

These already I do not lack

Focus and memory have faded away

They’re not what they were yesterday

New knowledge to me, does not register

Things studied yesterday, are now a blur

If it happened 50 years ago, I remember

But don’t even ask, about last December

As I age, more people I know are dying

It’s a concern to me, but I keep on flying

We never know, when our time is done

So for now, I just keep on having fun
