The Message
Wes Wilson
Heady youth,
thumb your nose;
deign to think
of aging woes.
Some go fast.
Some go slow.
Eventually,
we’re gonna go.
We adjust
to wear and tear.
More rapid slide?
More to bear.
For this journey,
few wish haste
Not our choice;
gods set the pace.
The message comes,
the way defined.
Our tool to cope:
Strength of Mind.
It’s Parkinson’s;
My course is set.
Stiff upper lip?
You bet!

Love it!
I don't generally enjoy poetry. I usually find it really hard work unless I have it read to me and then I can enjoy the flow and cadence as an inherent part of the poem. However, this one "worked" for me, I enjoyed reading it all by myself. lol
