I went through the ages!

Took awhile to
reach old age.
I had to go through
the Ice Age,
the Stone Age,
the dark ages,
the Bronze Age,
the Iron Age,
the Middle Ages,
the modern ages,
the new age,
the act your age,
the maturity age,
and then there it was
like a shrine before me
on the mantle piece
“ old age!”
Even came with a mirror,
that was scary.

Blessed am I.

such a observant poem about what we all face. getting older. anything that can give comfort to the only and lonely is a poem well shared. very much appreciated. good work.

hahah this one's clever! I think I'm stuck between the 'act your age' and the 'maturity age' lool and I'm not sure if I even want to go through the old age :x
Guess we do need a mirror to remind us of where we stand...! Cool piece of writing, Andrew! :D

You are truly ageless and timeless as the sands of time find your footprints 👣 along the shore to heavens door. Your eyes twinkle and the moon winks as this is your golden age where dreams are reality. Be still and listen to the winds of time... the age of Aquarius. truly, Pat

Lovely words Pat better than my poem. Thank you.

dear Andrew... just thoughts that come to
Mind... aging is a privilege, but it is a pattern of aches and pain... however, it is also a time of learning, especially on a poetry site with well read poets. May your days be filled with beams of light and new insights. truly, Pat

lol that reminds me of the Marathon man starring Dustin Hoffman when he was in the dentist chair and he was asked: Is it safe?
Is it safe? Don't they say young at heart, young in mind! Thanks Gene.
