To Grow Old

To grow older is to

Grow less attractive to some

Grow lines in skin

Grow thicker skin

Grow less dependent



To grow older my be

To grow a pair

Be not of a pair

Be alone but not lonely



To age may be

A hated thing

A dreaded thing

And that in mind



To have a mind to hate the change

To hate ones self for changing

To hate not being in demand

Is to hate the reality



As stated by some one,

Is specific

Age is a death sentence

A death to the superficial overtures

A death to casual trifles



Upon sobering up to this fact

It does burn

It does hurt

Like acid on the flesh

On the heart



I bury any possibility of being

The object of desire

Object for inspiration

And I set off in a fresh

Direction

Hi DW, Getting Old? Me? Im not getting old, Im already old! lol. DW, you're not getting old, your aging like fine wine.. getting better... mmmmmmm, yesss!!! wine
I've got nothing against getting older, only that when I noticed some white lint in my nose one day, after looking closer, I found it was not lint but white nose hairs. Yuck!!! Disgusting!!! lol. grin
Robrt,

They make personal trimmers for nose hair. I bet you can get a deal on one this June(father's day is coming).

Thanks for the compliment. As for old, there is no place for it here,it seems.
Hi pretty Diamond..blushing ,, Trim my nose hairs? Why would I do that, my last girlfriend loved how I tickled her with them. lol. rolling on the floor laughing

DW

I will never give in....I have lived a very fun life and it continues.....

Hold on......
Remember this for real
@Diamond When I think about aging and wish I was 20-25 again, I just think well it's better to be 43 than 80! And when I hit 80, I'm going to wish I was 43. So I try to be happy with the age I'm at. What's the alternative, death? I want to live a little still. And sometimes I think, age doesn't matter, until the day you die.
