the wrinkled skin, once soft and smooth
the dull, waning eyes, once sparkled with youth
the crooked smile, once vibrant with laughter
the now bent body, once an agile dancer.
Don't agree with old age being full of grief! I'm having a wonderful time - can almost get out of my chair! But I do think the same way as your good verse! Love the time piece! fav
Wonderful picture. I don't agree that old age is full of grief, although it is sad to lose your friends and family at your older age. I am enjoying life as much as I can in my older age. We should travel and do great things when we are young and work when we are older.
Old (older for me so far) age is not necessarily always full of grief although it has its moments, doesn't it? I guess I find there's always a balance and where I've lost some of the agility in my body, I've gained joy with five grandkids and a camera in my hand. Still, I understand and have felt the sentiment of the poem- well written my fiend! And an excellent capture to illustrate it.
fabulous image although the ribbon on the left keeps drawing my eye away from the watch. I do at times grieve for my youth but not sure if I had chance I'd want to relive it.
