I AM

My bones creak louder each day
I'm getting older
Gray hairs seem to come for a visit more often
I'm getting older
I actually enjoy the taste of prunes
I'm getting older
The bed calls my name at 8:30pm
I'm getting older
I appreciate antiques and my grandmothers jewelry
I'm getting older
I see the mountains in my hometown and I'm in awe
I'm getting older
I tell neighbors to turn their music down
I'm getting older
I don't know if I can do a cartwheel anymore
I'm getting older
I don't know where my 20's went
I'm getting older
I miss my grandparents
I'm getting older
Where has all the time gone? Where...
I'm getting older
Songs, words-bring back lost and forgotten memories
I'm getting older
I have grown into myself
I'm getting older
I can offer advice of where I've been and what I've done...and what not to do
I'm getting older
I raise a son with great intensity
I'm getting older
I see myself...feel my heartbeat...and want more
I'm getting older
I am older.

Awesome! Isn't it funny how we grow into ourselves, no longer feeling the need to do the peacock dance on every tom in the street... or is that just me? :)
