I think I put in the padded words because the example poem I saw when I researched the form used them. Upon further research, I see that there is not a strict meter to the form, just the rhyme scheme/line order and number of lines. So I think this should work:
Aging
I'm too old to climb a tree.
I’d fall and break a bone.
Not as agile as I used to be,
I’m too old to climb a tree.
The years have passed too fast for me.
I wish I hadn’t grown.
I’m too old to climb a tree.
I’d fall and break a bone.
