Together, let’s take heart!

Our bodies, minds now fraying
of erstwhile bounce bereft
Our wrinkles deepened, graying
hair of what little left

Years bland or full were they deft
countless days in reprise
Dragging us by heft & theft
closer to our demise

Arrived at earthly life’s edge
we must not age apart
allow between us no wedge
Together, let’s take heart!
