Is a life long battle

Living life as a jigsaw puzzle

Making pieces fit

It takes perseverance

With a whole lot of wit…

Waking each morning

Facing the day

Ending an argument

When you run out of words

Running errands

Without a car

Using your legs

But they can’t take you far

As you run out of steam

With one flight of stairs

Accepting what’s up there

You no longer care

Or want or need…

Accepting the reality

That age takes a toll

Dwindling your options

Down to your soul…
