Growing Old!   -   "Who Me?"

 Time changes things, or so I'm Told,
 
I've Noticed it More since Growing Old.
 
I don't See as well,  I really have to Strain,
 
I walk with a Limp, And even need a Cane.

 People don't Speak very loud any more,
 
And I never seem to Hear that Knock at the door.
 
I Battle the Bulge from day to day,
 
And worry about What those Scales will Say.

 Sometimes I Try to Get in the Mood,
 
Use more Willpower and Eat Less Food.
 
But as I Sit in my Chair and Exercise,
 
I Count all these blessings in disguise.

 No need to Fret, Heaven Forbid,
 
I'll never look the same as I did as a Kid.
 
I've got lots of Wrinkles and even a Double Chin,
 
But I feel Pretty Fine for the Shape that I'm in.

  I Think as I look,
 
in that Mirror on the Wall,
 
Time has Changed Things,
 
But, I'm Having a Ball!
