January 11th, 2010 — Growing Older
With age a constant reminder,
Poor eyesight and glasses a must;
They came through the mail just today…
My heavens! Just look at the dust!
My glasses must be the problem,
I’ve not seen that much dust before.
So now I’ll take off my glasses
Before I come in the front door!
