PHASED OUT

Phased Out - Heart Songz Poetry

 

 

 

 

 

 

I’ve got the signs of aging
The spots are coming out
My toes are numb and cold
And eyes of course are fading
The bones all have an ache
The joints are stiff or creak
The stomach gets excited
And can’t take food of late
My bathroom stops are many
Life doesn’t seem much fun
But loads and loads of time have I
To sit and count each one!

AN OLD WOMAN

Old Woman

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

There is an old woman
Who walks on our street
With umbrella in hand
And galoshes on feet

As she toddles along
Each person she meets
Gets a wide friendly smile
And good morning greet

I wonder where she goes
On her early morning beat
With flapping raincoat
And galoshes on feet
