Old Age Can Be A Punishment

From your head you lose a few more strands of hair every day That old age can be a punishment it does seem this way The passing of time does leave you walking slow This is something no doubt that you already know People good at sports seem to fade fast just beyond their physical prime The physical self quickly succumbs to time Three score and ten years the average human life span A few years more for a woman than it is for a man It is true enough what has been said of the sage That she or he even grows wiser with age And though wisdom is a thing that cannot be bought or sold Some never grow wiser they only grow old You lose a few gray strands of hair from your head every day Does that old age can be a punishment seem a fair thing to say?
