Elephants Never Forget (here)

the 10 of 12 given words:

Define Shallow Lip Biting

Behind Remote Seduction Believe Float 

Guttural (harsh-sounding speech sound produced in the throat)

Dizzy Tremble

given to niceties hard to define

shallow in thinking when 

growing up but life had been forgiving

lip biting in challenging times 

and trudging behind most of the time

now opening up to old age

remote seduction of life's blessings

now more to believe towards

the pay-back of good times

to helping people in difficulties

health-wise afflictions float

slowly to creep in, on the quiet

but progressively in guttural 

stops of speech interruptions

testing times on hold

dizzy at times or arrested wholly

at work or at play one takes

the middle road

thankful for the morrow

that offers so much for those

who strive at their own pace

to tremble along mindful 

of forgetfulness that old age

brings forth
