This is excellent advice woven into a poem. We feel we are invincible when young, then stuff starts not working as well.

In this line:
"we began to act"
I think it would match the rest of your poem better as
"we begin to act"

Kudos to you on crafting what looks to be a difficult format.

This is a great message. It's not always easy to do physically but we can always keep our mind young and that is half the battle. thanks for sharing.

Patricia this is a great poem. I believe like you do. We are only as old as we think we are. We can't change the body, but we can change our mindset.

Well done

Cecilia

So true we don't need to give into our age. We can think young and even act young. That doesn't mean we need to be foolish. But be young at heart. Thank you for sharing this poem and message with us.

Some beautiful sentiments expressed here through the CADEA poetic format about ageing and how it can and does affect our lives - great image to illustrate

I love your use of this poetic form. Your poem is right in its assumptions, and I am guilty of complaining about age and pain when my God is in charge. We ll need to remember to use positive thoughts and words.
