old man
Who are you
Your body
Grows old
Hints of hair grey
Kness that knock
And sometimes pain
Hints of pain you hold your chest
They come and go
Breathless
Climbing those stairs
Where once
You ran in a minute mile
Age creeps upon your face
Those creaces that once where not there
Skin that takes a while to snap back
Wrinkles you see when you stand and stare
Now I know who you are
Your now that old old man
Your body
Grows old
Hints of hair grey
Kness that knock
And sometimes pain
Hints of pain you hold your chest
They come and go
Breathless
Climbing those stairs
Where once
You ran in a minute mile
Age creeps upon your face
Those creaces that once where not there
Skin that takes a while to snap back
Wrinkles you see when you stand and stare
Now I know who you are
Your now that old old man

Aren't you only 34??
Where does that leave me, at 54??
I still have almost 10 years up on you.
Sad, but true.
