June 15th is world elder abuse awareness day

 

today is elder abuse awareness day

i am 18, life is fun.
i sure hope i will
always be young.
now i am 22,
being an adult,
so much to do.
now i am thirty or so
where did my carefree
teen years go?
now i am 45,
... a little slower,
but glad to be alive
now i am 60, 
so fifty seems so
fit,
time went too fast,
what did i do with it?
now i am 80,
no excuse, 
people ignore me
or worse,
there is abuse
