Then one day, you took a look into the mirror

There, you were awaken to the realities of tom morrow

Not to be disappointed, there were signs to make you ponder

And made you understand that you are getting older.

That face which was consider, handsome as you were youthful

In a particular sport, there were a trace of a wrinkle

And that luxuriant growth of hair, your skull it concealed

Now there is a bald spot, as you hairline has receded

One day as you move you body, to a certain point

You grimaced, as they was a reaction from a knee joint

Can’t now climb the stair, without a degree of hurting

And each step now seem to be higher than any mountain.

Feeling better, the journal you loved, decided to peruse

Intending to Analise the writing, as well as keep up with the news

Then the heart sank, water in the eyes, you winked with such intensity

Because that inability to read the fine print was now a reality

Raising that now surely, there is something wrong with the vision

So you got spectacles that were prescribed, to effect a correction

Now they have become, part of the attire, as they you now need

To assist in the event there is something to sign or read.

Then another appeared that may bring on some dread

In some places there may be some protruding middle spread

Employing common sense, diet and exercise, in such  situation

Trying to reduces the threat of diabetes and hypertension.

By from history there is something we all very well know

That during the process of time, our life and age will flow

So there look at oneself each decade, and try to prepare

Like all things the live and work, will age and there will be wear and tear.
