Growing old is something we accept. However, it comes with challenges.

 

We play in this world of uncertainty, and navigate down a path for . . . 

 

 

Old Folks

 

The old folks in the audience clap in praise.
The amazing show leaves them in a daze.

The actors’ performances make them see
Exactly what is meant to be.

They celebrate being drawn into the story.
It lets them bask in the actors’ glory.

They laugh and cry with the intent of each scene.

They enjoy the powerful portrayal of both king and queen.

And when their enjoyment at last abates,
They rush to the bathroom as if on roller skates.

They love the actors up on the stage floor,
But appreciate getting to the toilet in time even more.
