I Feel Old Today - Re-posted

I’m feeling older today, Lord,

Than I am meant to feel,
And all the little aches and pains,
Today, seem very real.  
 
I know I’m whining quite a bit
For someone who’s so blessed,
Yet I can’t help but feel that I
Am failing one more test.
 
I have too little energy
For all I did today,
And, when I try to focus in,
My mind has gone astray.
 
I see those younger than I am
Bursting in perfect bloom,
I feel as if I’m in their way,
Taking up too much room.
 
I don’t like feeling this way, Lord,
It’s not my normal state,
But I have felt it coming on
And now it’s in full spate.
 
I know that by tomorrow’s close
The worst will be behind,
But if you’ll keep an eye on me,
You know I wouldn’t mind.
