Some days I find it difficult to find a simple word I know it’s somewhere deep inside I search in vain and wonder what is going on inside my brain The aging process has begun so please believe me when I say, it really is no fun For every day new challenges, to encounter, come to light Living gets more difficult - problems multiply over night Aches and pains are so restricting all I want to do is walk with each step I feel so slow just want to run and have some fun before Grim Reaper calls… So please I beg for just one day and when the sun shines I’ll make hay to do the things that make me smile and smell those roses for a while To contemplate my life thus far a rich and varied tapestry a life so full with joy and laughter memories made - cherished hereafter When finally my time is nigh, my spirit and soul will soar up high and waving Mother Earth goodbye, I’m ready to leave ~ my time to die Written 21st June 2019 ~ the longest day ~ don’t go away… Premier Contest: A Contest on Aging Sponsor: Emile Pinet Contest Brian's Choice 6 Sponsor Brian Strand
