It's a sobering thought once you realize,

you're not only getting older in years

but your body is slowing down as well.


Things which once seemed effortless

now require much effort.

Body parts you called your friend

have now parted ways, tired of the pace.


You might feel youthful inside

but your reflection cries otherwise.

Gone are the days of drawing glances,

unless you put your shirt on backwards.


Everything requires alittle extra push,

which you may or may not give.


But before I go too far over the hill

as my body passes it's prime,

I still have so much to do,

now it will just take more time.
