As I walk through leafy woods
Towards my favourite seat
Signs that life is passing by
All around and under feet
Mossy trees Slow decay
New life emerges every day
Seasons show change goes on
Here a while then we’re gone
My younger days were longer
Months we had to fill
A year would seem forever
As if time were standing still
Ageing is just an experience
We should enjoy as we grow
Nature displays the facts of life
Showing all we need to know
