One look at this photo…I see I’m missing some hair
and if I’m not mistaken my eyelids have slid
although it’s really quite difficult for me to know
because I don’t see as clearly as at one time I did.
My hearing is going, which I don’t understand
and I ask this with as much confusion as vigor…
How am I able to hear less now that I’m older
when my ears have gotten bigger and bigger?
And don’t get me started about my memory
for hardly does there come a day…
When…wait!…there…it happened again
I forgot what I was going to say…
But when I put the photo down and walk through my house
my misery quickly comes to and end
For wherever I look I see reminders and remnants
of a life filled with family and friends…
Reminding me as I get older
Something I long ago ascertained…
Not to concentrate on the things that I’ve lost
but instead…
on the things that I’ve gained.
