Personally, I havae never feared growing old. As a chile I used to visit old folks, some ill, some amputees, andmore. I would ask Jesus to allow me to be old one day like my friends then. Now in my late up;s, I do not fear being nor becoming even older for somehow, in spite of every day elder health issues I feel like a child in the sight of our Father.
Perhaps the OP author should meditate upon how the first will be last and the last shall be first.

Isaiah 46:4 NKJV
4 Even to your old age, I am He,
And even to gray hairs I will carry you!
I have made, and I will bear;
Even I will carry, and will deliver you.
Proverbs 16:31
31 The silver-haired head is a crown of glory,
If it is found in the way of righteousness.
Psalm 92:13-14
13 Those who are planted in the house of the Lord
Shall flourish in the courts of our God.
14 They shall still bear fruit in old age;
They shall be fresh and flourishing,
2 Corinthians 4:16
16 Therefore we do not lose heart. Even though our outward man is perishing, yet the inward man is being renewed day by day.
I'm doing my best to take really good care of myself, eating right, having fun, lots of quality family time, just good stuff. There are so many adventures out there! I know I can't escape getting older as I'm on this planet, so for now, I'll enjoy my life and thank God for so many great things. I'm really blessed.
We are like fine wine i am told.The grace in us is beautiful and will destroy the delusion of age.
I've heard that too. Although I don't drink wine( I drink other adult beverages in moderation), I think its about savoring our lives and adding good things to it. Theres always something good to appreciate. I also agree with the rest of the quote. That would be a good tshirt; Destroy the Delusion of Age!
Would it be humorous were I to ask, why are all people's days like a calendar? All people's days are numbered. Many fall short of the Biblical number of years accounted man, that is, seventy years or as many as eighty by virtue..Why are old people like a calendar?
Both their days are numbered!
With age u appreciate the simple things. Laugh at the over complicated.
Have more fun, but boy does it hurt for dsys after
