Being old is …

 

…like being a newborn again.


Uncertain steps, 

learning to walk,

re-discovering to become

who you are,

and then,

there are visits to a dentist

for a new set of teeth

and perhaps, 

mashing up the food

so it is easier to eat.


And to top it all

living with dignity

does not get any easier

when before getting in bed

hands fumble to put on

an adult diaper.
