I am caring for my 93 year old aunt but I am not too far behind at a healthy 78 and can tell you, you are in good company. Love to hear the youth in your writing voice. . .it makes your final chapter just that much sweeter. Good luck with this piece.

Thanks, Moongirl, but at 57 I'd like to think I have a few chapters left! My Dad is 90, however. Thank you for sharing and for the generous rating!

Hello Writer
Oh yes, age is not a number, no matter how old you get you are stuck at twenty at heart. Beautifully crafted and a great compliment to your father.
Best wishes in the contest.

Comment from Poetic Friend
This is hilarious and somewhat cute. People seems to be getting younger, and not older (in terms of physical appearance).
I prefer to count blessings than years, too!
Love this poem.

You've written a wonderful poem on aging for the contest
with excellent rhymed couplets.
Your Dad, Stanley, looks great for ninety and has the right idea about counting blessings.
Well done
Best wishes to you and your Dad.

This is a wonderful piem, I can relate! I still feel like a 20 year old, but my body feels otherwise. I have 2 bad knees, but life is still good when i look at my childrens faces. Best of luck in the contest.

Marvelous piece of Commentary and Philosophy Poetry meeting the desired norms, and depicting the depth of its theme in a very amusing way.
Impressive and perfectly matching the theme phraseology.
Smooth, spontaneous and enchanting flow throughout from the beginning to the end with lovely rhyming scheme.
Superb!

Comment from Willie P. Smith
I can certainly relate to your poem. I am 81 and I don't go a day without hurt. And though I realize my days are numbered, I don't have any problem smiling and praising the Lord for my longevity. Excellent poem.

Hi Willie- all of our days are numbered. Remember, count blessings, not years! Sounds like you have that covered. Thanks for the kind review!
Comment from Hitcher
It is just a number if you're still young at heart BUT the body knows and reminds one just how old it feels every now and again. Which i guess is a good thing too, it slows one down and makes them consider doing crazy moves/things before attempting them . I think the fact your father still drives is awesome for him : ))

Comment from LateBloomer
Hello author, a fun poem and a heartfelt look at aging. I especially liked:
Still, I'd rather count blessings than years,
and smile a young smile with my tears.
(Me too)
Silky rhyming couplets. Well-chosen photo choice. A pleasure to read. Keep the blue waters flowing. LateBloomer
