This is so true Terry! What an Awesome piece of work. You pretty much told my story, as well as so many others. I wanted to give you another star, but I must have used mine up for the month. Thank you for the extremely spot on story of getting older. God Bless!

Comment from Tom Horonzy
Excellent. My favorite lines are:
My attention span
Can't be blamed on the author
It is my weakness.
Aside from not liking "quite" which I found superfluous in stanza eight. .........................................

I try and enlarge my text as I understand that the text is difficult to read if it is too small. I also skip work with no paragraphs or punctuation as I lose my way when reading! He he he, a poignant write Terry, love Dolly x

Comment from papa55mike
You are more than enough, just trying is everything. That's why I use a larger font because there are some I can't read at 65. What a wonderfully written poem. Keep 'em coming. Best of luck with your writing!
Have a great day, God bless.

Thank you for being here to read and review along with us. I completely understand about the need to be able to see the print. Sometimes the colors can be too loud for my eyes and I can't read it. Enjoyed your reviewing comments in your series of 5-7-5 stanzas! The colors and the font size were perfect!

Comment from JPGeo
I found myself agreeing with each stanza as I read down. I'm in awe of most of the poets here so I just try to be kind and encouraging. So here you go. Great job. Keep up the good work!
Cheers,
John

It seems like you are writing this poem about me. I can see myself in almost every line. I just had my eyes checked, and he said that my cataracts were not ready for the laser yet.

Nor are mine. And removing them would do nothing for the opti neuritis that accompanies MS, so why bother. We'll have to do our best to enlarge when we can and clarify what we must! Thanks for he stars and your time in reading and reviewing~ I'm off to find one of yours!
Comment from lancellot
Very interesting. That is part of a lesson I had to learn a few years ago. Now I always set my font size to at least 16, and use Arial.
But, there is something you can do on the reader side too. There is no reason why you can't increase the zoom on your screen from 100% to say, 125 or 130%.
I do that sometimes to make small print bigger.
