Old Age

Old age is the age of the wise

Wizened over time and not otherwise.

Life's stage when one compromises

N tries to accept the situations that arises.

Bombarded is one with a sudden realisation

That one cannot engage in the same occupation.

Life throws in new challenges

That's not easy, however talented.

Simple everyday activities that were done on the go

Seems a daunting task with a loss of gusto.

Helpless is how one may feel,

And wonder how one has to deal.

Love and affection from one's own breed

Is definitely what these times need.
