I am a machine created for reading and teaching which I enjoyed most

In my 30s, I exercised
to look good.
In my50s,to stay fit
In my 70s to stay ambulatory.
In my 80s, to avoid
assited living.
Now in my 90s ,I am just
  doing it of pure defiance

I am a machine created for devouring books
Said Mark once,
In my case I was made for reading and teaching
Going back to the quote,
I have not had the habit of exercising
When I have begun my early70s in 2020
I realise I must restart the machine and do
Simple breathing and stretching at least.

I am starved of good books and also deep sleep
For long being preoccupied with teaching and preparation
I hardly spent any quality time with my family and parents
When the old age catches up and Whispers my
Falling and failing in life, my burnt out life ,
Recklessly lived without much holidays, I repent now

Having had spent for more than a year at Adelaide
By being sleepy and becoming lazy, not walking much
I rest and relax but not getting refreshed or rejuvenated.
Will frozen shoulders and tired knees get a boost
and will God change me for the better
and enable me to do the work, reading and writing
And make me a bundle of energy, joy and peace.
