Our Attitude is Worn

Macular degeneration

can limit our information.

Because we can’t read as well

and have less stories to tell.

After this happened to me

i also lost memory.

I am still able to hear

through all the wax in my ear.

Some things are lost; others won.

Old age can be lots of fun.

I’m happy to be retired,

unafraid of being fired.

This is when we all find out

what old age is all about.
