Of Growing Old

My body aches,
while I listen
to the voices in my head.
Wordless noises
a brief susurration.
Pains of arthritis,
old age, and brittle bones.
What happened to the golden
times of retirement and relaxation?

Hi Steve...

I am beginning to think they call it the "golden years" because that's when they give
gold shots for arthritis....hah...great poem and I have no nits...God Bless, Judi

Hi Steve,

You caught the spirit of 'my moment' **S** most vividly. Well worded as usual. I can definately relate as I sit here with a heating pad wrapped around my knee. I'm still waiting for the gold...perhaps I overslept when it was being passed out.
