Oh my....the trials and tribulations of aging. I really enjoyed this I'm in my forties and I feel every bit of ot, the stiffness and the aches lol! But that's because I have arthritis.
The trick is, as you say in your poem here is to just keep moving and active!
And be thankful for every day we get to enjoy!
Well done my friend
Hugs

    Nicki,

    Thank you for the wonderful review. Yes, we need to keep moving because if we don't we will end up bedridden. We just power through the pain.

    Hope you have a great day my friend

As an old girl who can relate I read this with a smile, as I prefer the aches and pains to the aternative. It took me a while to relate to that old lady in the mirror, but she's part of me now, NO, she is me, LOL Good one Cecilia,
cheers

    Valda,

    Thank you for the wonderful review. Unfortunately, we can deny the old lady in the mirror, but our body will remind us daily that we are old.

I have enjoyed reading your interesting and doubtful poem you have penned. It is describing how a person feels when they get old. Excellent work! I see no mistakes in your poetry. Excellent job!

I can relate to this! I woke up one morning and realized I was getting old. Now I have bifocals, I'm going gray, and things hurt that never used to hurt before! I really enjoyed your poem about growing old. Thanks for sharing!

Dear Cecilia,
Isn't it the truth. I just buy really, really good night cream and try to get enough sleep and fresh air. A delightful read. Sending you my best today as always.

The author words are clear, descriptive and creative. The words are
familiar to me. As we age, there are more aches and pains than ever before! The poem led me to think of determination and to continue on! The poem flows and connects well. The artwork is awesome and goes well with this poem.

I hear you. Had to run a lot of errands today and now I'm limping. Need a break - until next time. I think young, but I feel OLD! Just have to learn to pace myself, UGH!

    June,

    Thank you for the wonderful review. It is a drag to get old. I know if I am on my feet too long I feel like I have been hit by a train.

Hi well what can I say? You are going and having what we are all of us human having. After using and abusing this body fora number of years it seems to be demanding the price ,the rents which we did not pay or pay partially. At 88 I get all of it , but still the most beautiful word in the writing is motivated.yes we need to motivate ourselves. Face the pain. My neighbour has got everything...from cancer, heart hernia asthma you name it !
God bless

Benny

I was writing a poem for you as your work inspired me.
But, (Braggy McBrag ) it was so good I posted it for the contest. I mentioned you in my authors notes. You wrote this well. Karen
