Enjoy it.
Make sure you do.
You shut your eyes, and then it flew.
Watch beautiful youngsters on T.V.
Seems miles away.
From where you're at now.
The bubbly young beauty became an aged cow.
Think on.
One day before you know it.
You'll find you are me.
Your perfect face will crinkle.
Marking where you smiled.
Your carefree attitude will enhance responsibility.
All kind of funny honey.
Coming of age is delightful.
Being over age is frightful.
The greying of the hair.
It's in need of tender loving care.
Have to dye it regularly
The only joints of interest,
Are not the ones you used to smoke.
Your hips get rather clicky.
Your knees are much the same.
Precious sleep, almost a ***** word.
Sleep, well that is just a stroke elusive.
If I'd known what ageing was all about.
I may have given up the game.
~X~
It has it's benefits you know.
You acquire memories and experience.
Birth children if you're lucky enough.
So no matter how much I moan and groan.
It's really not that rough.
