When I Get Old

Just when the day wanes longer,
Legs and body not get any stronger,
Memory short and not clear,
Times of ending days near.

Hair hurts from gray to white,
And it seems like you’re not feeling right.
When you’re hearing turns quiet
And  you’re not as fit but put on a strict  diet—
That’s. when I get old.

Time is swiftly moving moving along,
Super speed in minutes  and time.
The winter years are quietly here
Those days you can’t get back or even find—-
That’s. When I’m getting old.

When family multiplies even more,
One by one, generation after generation,
They are your family strong and bold
Building up of what have left—-
This is duty of family when get old.

Looking back the years
In the mirror of life it’s self
Going back in time and space
When knowledge is like the weather—-
As I’m getting old.
