Old age seemingly always comes at a bad time. However, we shouldn't let it us down. It’s too darn difficult to get back up again. One solution may be to die young but to leave that event for as long as possible. George(Burns) at the age of 100 said " It was nice to be here". I'm 88 and find it nice to be anywhere. I'm sure reading your lovely poems will help - if only I could find my damn glasses.
