The older you get the more important the internal
As we focus on other things besides the external
We witness changes we can do little about
For time effects our body both within and without
It’s not easy to be gracious when your body sets limits
Used to doing what we want, easily within minutes
Now a slower pace we duly select
Or our bodies will greatly object
Even though the interior feels exactly the same
Our thoughts and feelings fight and disclaim
We must now slow down, relax and take stock
The interior is important, nothing here to mock
As days turn into weeks then months and then years
We can look back with fondness and joyous tears
Accepting of all that once was
Happily living with inner applause
That is so beautiful and so true too ????
Thank you, it is, sadly very true, lol you feel so different inside as opposed to what your body can actually do, lol
I can vouch that the body is really protesting
It just cannot do what you’ve been suggesting
The joints get old and the muscles recede
Before we could do, but now we just read.
We slow down with age
And turn a new page
How disheartening it is when we must concede.
Delightful! I hate to say its true, but it surely is. Must make hay while the sun shines as they say, because it’s over all too soon. Bless the irony of it all! lol
well said
Thank you very much.
