Excellent growing old contest entry From Youth to Age by dovemarie Growing old. writing prompt entry

From childhood to youth, From youth to age I learned the truth Turning each and every page I ran through my youth Don't remember when I lost my first tooth Now aches and pains chill my bones Especially when I look at gravestones Soon I will be beneath The ground; to whom will I my treasures bequeath? The sadness of growing old... Little time left to hold My life is like a storybook From smoothness to wrinkles, that's how I will look Born in mid twentieth century, The wisdom of age will be my treasury Writing Prompt Please write a porm of any type that addresses growing old.
