Some Days

My stomach twists 

when I feel my age - 

at least my body’s age; 

my mind juggles all the 

what if’s and want to’s 

that jostle for attention. 

Age just keeps aging! 

Want to’s take energy. 

Makes things a bit off kilter.

So I’ll just march on 

even if it is a bit slower 

    ~ some days.

“As you get older, you don’t get wiser. You get irritable.”
