As I Age Poem by Dwayne Bailey
As I Age
When I was young, I thought as a child,
as I grew my perspective changed;
Now Im cold where I used to be loving;
my priorities have been rearanged.
Why do we change as we age?
why must we lose our inner child?
Why do we have to grow up at all?
Why cant we be loving and mild?
Sometimes I hate what Ive become,
bitter and tempered with age;
less tolerant of my fellow man,
more prone to anger and rage.
I think we get cynical as we age. I saw that in my parents and sometimes see it in myself. We become less tolerant with time. I guess we just have to look for the beauty in life and in others. You put your thoughts down perfectly in this poem. Warm Wishes, Marilyn

I'm with My friend Thad on this one, I think I'm more relaxed now than I ever was as a child, Maybe it's that the inner child must learn wisdom first... Andrew 10
