A long way to go

My hands told me first

Deep grooves across my knuckles

That was some time ago

Things become more relative

Time more fleeting

Memories more faded, and

More treasured

My knees are now the tell,

Forcing steps to slow

Those steps now

So treasured

Knowing

I still have a long way to go

A/N:

On ageing...of course i wrote this at 40, so will probably have a lot more to say on the topic in the coming decades.
