AGE A Slippery Slope

 

                              AGE  

                    A Slippery Slope


Once jet black, now, sparse silver hair,

prior, mentally alert, today, cannot compare,

sunrise to sunset daily lack inspiration,

new concepts diminished, create frustration.

 

Oh, to recall dynamic skills from past,

nostalgic fleeting dreams, really do not last,

highlights prevalent became one's lifestyle,

but memories dissipate, unless retained on file.

 

Historical experiences basically disappear,

modern technology, records events, year after year,

imagine an ancestor’s joy sharing family tree,

previous generations, deprived, of their ancestry.

 AGED:

“Hindsight…If only.”

Life’s journey was all about me.

 Guilty!
