chores like cooking...
(i'd really love to cook in this brand new kitchen)
...and arranging flowers
or just simply clowning around
... when every one around the table looks younger than you
...when your kids can cook a better version of your recipes
...and salads are the only dish on the table that don't
have an adverse effect on your body chemistry.
...when your kids tell you not to indulge too much on the yummy ice cream cake that you know is the best because your wife made it.
...when you have a big granddaughter
who is large enough to fit in her aunt's dresses
...when you're not the first guy into the pool anymore.
but the first out of it because you can't stand the cold
...when balancing on these contraptions isn't as easy
as it seems to be.
... and when you can't steady your hands long enough for
good night shots from the balcony of the condo.
Like they say - age is just a number, which i swear is true. How the people around you relegate you to a spectator from the usual performer that you are is another role that i will in time learn to play well.
