To Feel Young Again (Tanka)

To feel young again

My aches and my pains vanquished

Tireless child

They say it’s a state of mind

My body says otherwise

      Me too, it is a very strange thing how this just creeps up on us seemingly out of the blue. :)

      I guess it is inevitable, what can one do, but deal with it the best that one can. :)

    That’s right, we can rewind the film. Then again, once the body will be gone, the spirit may remain and, who knows, maybe in a childish way.

      Perhaps my friend. :) Although this body isn’t quite as young and flexible as it used to be, I still maintain a childish side…not too crotchety yet. :)

    It seems like when I turned 56, I suddenly started feeling the protests from my body so loudly! UGH!

      They creep up on us when we least expect it, but I guess it is what happens as we age…unavoidable.
