Yes, older folks will like this wonderful poem. Actually, I think even younger ones might like this poem because one day they'll be older too. A fabulous poem - Walk With Me While I Age
Sorry, but in case you're wondering who wrote it? I don't know who wrote it but that's not important. What is important is that it was by someone who understand how older folks feel.
A beautiful poem about getting older. I hope this poem has the same effect on you as it did on me; then my posting it will have been worth the effort. Walk with me while I age. Well worth the read.
Walk With Me While I Age
Let's discuss it? Tell me if it resonates with you, especially those that are older? And remember young ones, one day you'll be older too?
They say that you can measure age- / By the way you feel. / That growing old is optional, / That old age isn’t real… / I have a hard time grasping that, / As my. Published at the web's largest poetry site.

I thought to post the link to the poem, I think it is this one that you are mentioning.
I am getting older, this is how I feel some days, other days I still feel like I were in my 30's.

Glad you noticed that I didn't post the poem. I must be getting old and getting forgetful. Interesting that some enjoyed the poem.

So, if I can climb one flight of stairs without being out of breath then I'm still ok? So what is a flight of steps, about 20 steps?

@1hopefulman Yes, when we are aging, we need to be prepared that we will continue to lose friends, relatives or even our family members.... That's what my husband and I were talking. Well, it's sad, but that's part of life too.

Glad you liked it! We go though many challenges and it's easier when we have people that love us until the end.

@1hopefulman I hear that. My girlfriend, well, if I can even call her that anymore, her father is in a nursing home now and there are people there that have no one. It is sad.

Try to slow down your ageing process if you can.

The post is actually a joke. I build up all about the poem and then forget to post the poem.

We all age so I guess it is relevant at even younger ages,

We can slow it down a bit but we can't stop it at this time.
