RE: The Old Man (An Original Poem)

Thank you Nancy. Life expectancy isn't what it used to be here in the U.S. either, it's actually going down. I think it's possible to age gracefully though. I've watched many people around me achieve it. I think it's a combination of moderation/movement throughout life and staying engaged and genuinely interested in the world, that unquenchable curiosity, you know? A tree, what a beautiful analogy for aging! I hope you enjoy your week and thanks again for your comment.
