When I Was… Two

When I was young I’d touch my toes
To prove my elasticity
Now I can barely find my nose
With any authenticity
I was so proud of my blonde locks
All smooth and shiny bright
Now I’m more about the socks
I wear in bed at  night
Back in the day I wanted more
Excitement no safe bets
But that was in the days before
Arthritis and night sweats
