Age Works Against Us Not Poem by Terence George Craddock

in many professions age works
against us strength ebbs

body slows but consider old
man artistist bold sweeping
aside time constraints capturing

with picture word strokes
limp or body rhythm supple
dignity age focuses countless

fleet forms years viewing
stiffening bones perceive what
it is to be young character line true

while young cliche guesses
age shadow expressions
