So Many Aches and Pains

So many aches and pains

Never use to be this way

I could go for hours

Suddenly the years take toll

And the body does rebel

Very strange indeed

These natural frailties

That affect us all

One can cosmetically fight

But in the end…aging wins

    Excellent poem. Sense of finality, but also natural.

      Thank you Charles, it certainly is natural, but not much fun. :)

      Will do, they come and go, but now they seem to just stay a bit longer. :)

    time does reach for our bones, we evade as long as we can, but eventually we are caught. we must take it all in. live well, love hard now while we still can.

    great poem!

      Very wise, there is nothing we can really do about age, but we can choose to keep a good attitude about it. Thank you Elle.
