Seven Ages of Man
6 weeks –all systems go
6 years –all systems “No!”
16 years–all systems know
26 years–all systems glow
36 years–all systems owe
56 years–all systems status quo
76 years–all systems slow
R.M. Cornelius in The Rotarian.
I never believed I’d awake some morning and be seventy years old, but it happened. Whatever happened to sliding down the knoll, dating girls, getting married, going to college, buying a house, paying off stuff, having different dogs and strange cats, enjoying vacations and starting wrinkles and gray hair. These are all in the wake as the boat of life races into old age. It happened to multitudes before me and now it’s my turn. I have to go now, for I have a doctor’s appointment.
Even to your old age I am He, and to gray hairs I will carry you. I have made, and I will bear; I will carry and will save.
They still bear fruit in old age; they are ever full of sap and green,
Do not cast Me off in the time of old age; forsake Me not when my strength is spent.
Time… Think about it.
