And notice my fading looks
Should I go under the knife
Get a little "nip and tuck?"
I know my face has changed
Over time
"Oh what a bummer
another fine line"
I made heads turn
In my hey- day
Now men seem to look
The other way
Wish I could go back in time
When I was pretty and flirty
I think we should all stop ageing
When we hit thirty
Life is like a book
It's not finished till the last page
My life is a new chapter
As I head for middle age.

Middle age

Unfortunate we vilify ageing and only highlight the superficial aspects such as fading of looks but forget the wisdom and dignity that should accompany it. I guess ageing is worse when you age alone as opposed to ageing with someone. It reminds me of a poem I wrote called autumn blossom. Embrace the ageing my friend and impart the wisdom on the youth

You're a spring chicken.
Funny we wrote about the same thing.
My poem should make you feel better.
Chin up and feel great.............
