THE BIOLOGICAL CLOCK

Tick tock! Tick tock! Tick tock!
On and on.......goes the biological clock!
Wrinkles and sags! Shortness of breath, too!
What's a poor lady like me to do?
The fountain of youth has not been found!
I think it's still hiding somewhere uptown!
Fading eyesight...aches and "growing older" pains,
Remind us to slow down and bring weight gains!
You try to run faster, but you can't keep up!
The clock goes even faster and tries to disrupt!
It is now time to face the truth and reality,
Make a truce, between the ticking clock and me!
I have no desire to listen, to the constant reminder,
That age is disgusting and youth is finer!
I'll just take pride, in my years of experience,
Accepting my age and condition will make sense!
I'll stay away, from critical eyes and mirrors,
I don't need others, to instill unreal fears!
Wrinkles will come and there will be lots more!
On yesterday's youth, I've closed the front door!
I'm really grateful for wrinkles, for you see, my dear,
Without these wrinkles, I wouldn't be here!
