I'm still a man

 

I’m still a man

 

I’m still a man though I grow old

I am no longer brave and bold.

I think before I chose to act.

I have to face up to the fact.

I have to do as I am told.

I’m still a man

 

The aches and pains that trouble me

 all tend to sap my energy.

I cannot do what I used to

That’s matterless for in my view

I’m still a man,

Hmmm. I always seem to enjoy your stuff. This form doesn't suit me I guess though. The rhymes seemed rather lock-step and sort of forced.

Nevertheless, this is a good effort.
