Old age has snuck up on me

Age

Old age has snuck up on me
When I wasn’t looking
Perhaps whilst I was sleeping
Or maybe when I was cooking.
She has placed some aggravating
And confusing things for me to bear
Such as the loss of muscle strength
But a preponderance of strange and useless hair!
Sadly when I comb my head I find it thinning there!
I have new meds to take each morn
With some to take at night
I only hope my mind holds up
Letting me get the directions right!
The directions on each bottle
Although sometimes confusing
Provide daily exercise for me
With their “Shake well before using!”
I’m not complaining about it
So please don’t get me wrong
I just want you to be prepared
When these symptoms come along!
Don’t fuss or fret about it
And don’t try to fight
For with all the hindrances involved
There are some things which bring delight.
People give you latitude
When you don’t get something right.
They exchange a wink or two
At things you may say or do
Not realizing that though your ears are bad
The lenses in your eyes are new!
Thena

Lol, Amen and praise God for your new eyes! How are your new peepers working?

"They exchange a wink or two

i wouldn't worry a bit,
i don't think much gets past you.

LOL...you may be right.


Years ago after Mom died, Huggy (Hubby) and I went to visit Dad and he cooked dinner for us (Roast beef and fish...lol)

Dad: Your brother was here and I heard them talking (brother and his wife) and they said
"Poor Dad, his dishes are a bit greasy, he just can't see very well."

But they didn't know that my ears are still really good!! LOL

You are a delight, Miss Thena, and I wouldn't worry about a few years. My mentor was sent home from Korea in 1953 cause he was exposed to mustard gas and wasn't expected to live long, BUT GOD, had other plans. He will be 81 come August and not a lot slips by him either. I believe you are just fine and getting refined each and every day. blessings
