young at heart ( only)

[saw]

the toughest hill to climb
facing my limitations, had to
learn it was okay that a chore
would take longer than i was used to,
so I learned to be amused
at this impostor that stole my mojo
and left me here to figure it all out
my doc said very matter of fact-ly,
" you need to work smarter, your tasks
are not sprints. stop
beating yourself up, I don't have any pills
to make you young again...
I gasped !
What doc ?
This is it ?
Don't you have any replacement parts
like my Ford Econoline van, I mean
I thought modern medicine was further along
than this. You mean......
I'm old ?

Put an e on it and give yourself a little dignity----OLDE

well said= yeah it is a talent to slow down and like it
kind of groovy with the avacado trees that seem to sprout with me
watching plants grow

[sasha]

hard for me to think of myself as a

- tribal elder -

do I deserve the title? am I worthy?

(You damn kids get off my lawn!)

[creativesoul]

Yes apparently you do—
