Answer:

In her poem, Maya Angelou reflects on growing old and describes it as a stage in life in which, despite some limitations caused by old age, people should be treated as they were treated during younger years, and they should also show gratitude for being able to reach such an age.

Explanation:

She explains that being quiet doesn’t mean one needs company and that struggling to get upstairs is no reason to feel pity. Those physical changes don´t mean one has become different than before.
