Faded 'N Jaded

I'm just an old body
who's tender and frail
with the movements of someone
who's no longer hale.

My limited actions
demand more attention
and trouble me more
than I hazard to mention.

As a young man, I spent
much more time on my toes,
but today I'm contented
to sit in repose.

That able, young man
was a fit Baby Boomer,
who's now an old timer
with only his humor.

And I don't regret
those exciting endeavors
that shaped the young days
of the best childhood ever!

It's a pleasure to sit here
and just reminisce
about untold adventures 
with friends that I miss.
