Aging

Therapeutic acquiescence

Is the secret to getting old,

Don’t ever simply waste away

Reinforce your body, mind and soul,

You’re as old or young as your mind sees

And the way you act and in what degrees,

And staying fit in body, health and mind

Will see us struggle less through our old age,

Rather than as commonly defined

Don’t accept what others say is inevitable,

For giving up will be your worst crime leaving a stain that is indelible.
