funny how impatient we were

when we were young.

we want to grow old fast

to be free

to have our own life

to be responsible for ourself.

and get away

from the blah blah blah 

of our parents...
and be in control.

but when we are already there

we wish to pull back the time
turn back the clock

freeze our age 

like the trees on winter

sleeping temporarily and coming back 

with new branches and leaves

on spring time.

and no matter what we do

we feel like

we are getting old

faster than we thought possible.

body aches

hips and back pain worsening 

our sight getting bad everyday

and our steps that cannot

go with how fast 

our mind is telling them to go.

but you know what

it is not too late for us 

to take it slow

now, we have to learn

to take everyday easy

live your life to the fullest

but keeping yourself

away from harm

away from pain...

let us all be happy

keep things simple

love with all honesty

and be contented with what we have...
