Socrates, Yes it is so. I'm still working a most physically taxing job and suffer the consequences if I don't heed your important advise. Growing older presents some physical limitations we never needed to be too concerned about before. Thanks for your insights.
Socrates, aging will come to pass. We just have to make the best of it. Taking care of ourselves to limit its consequences. If we reach old age, it's a blessing, mostly if we maintain a clear mind. The oldest lives ever lived in ages 117, 119, and 122 and numbers keep blooming...Thanks for sharing. SM

Hello my long ago friend, still writing strong poetry. Yes we are all ageing but the memories we collect and hold safe inside are small boxes of treasure we alone hold, those never age.
Hi socrates. very good written quatrain. Enjoyed reading.. sensitive topic for many of us, I ve learned to accept my appearance at any age and find new inevitable changes as a given ones, which have its charms .. try to love yourself as you are.every age has its own benefits. Lily

Great poem on a very natural, inevitable process of ageing. In a age where young people are being influenced and encouraged to inject chemicals in their bodies to slow the ageing process, prevent wrinkles and sadly ageism is evident in society, in the workplace and even on here with so many people preferring to date someone so much younger it is very refreshing to read your poem and the comments posted already. It certainly does come to all who live long enough both physically and aesthetically. Genetics, stress and illness can affect our bodies and looks. Hopefully and thankfully some are able to accept and embrace the process and mature and age gracefully. ?? .

We just have to make the best of the aging process, as you said,
which is inevitable.

I often think that it's good to reach old age,
So many of our youth die without a choice.
