Poem -
Old
Getting onâŚ.
Old
I feel it now
Getting old
I feel now how
ItâsâŚnot all gold
I feel it more
Since yesterdayÂ
Iâd rather stay
Than go ân' play
Itâs not so bad
Donât get me wrong
Iâm really gladÂ
Iâve lived this longÂ
I travelled âroundÂ
By thumb 'n' car
Slept under bridgesÂ
In Florida
My pal Hohner
Tagging along
Weâre always kissing
When blues come on
Been to rehab
Eyes wide open
Weâre all in a struggleÂ
Weâre all a bit brokenÂ
I got to see
Niagara Falls
I got to hear
The lovebird call
I sweetly weepedÂ
Obamaâs win
And lived to see
Him win again
I feel it now
Growing old
All my memoriesÂ
Just pure gold

You caught the exact direction,
had an older relative thought I was complaining not at allâŚ
first line was just a passing thought of the physical deteriorationđ
This is absolutely beautiful. It is one of the most uplifting poems I have ever read. It really is a fabulous poem. It nourishes the soul upon reading. Fabulous work!
