Hop up onto the bus of life
There's room enough for a short ride
When we are young, we're at the front
We steer, give gas and speed over the bumps
We are the ones that give directions
Left or right at the next intersection
Over the roads of life we cajole
On through the decades we continue to roll
But someday the bus of life slows down
Your brow is furrowed with a frown
For you are now only a passenger
With wrinkled eyes and greying hair
Others drive the Bus today
Driving near and far away
And with every year that passes by
You reminisce with a wistful sigh
One day when the bus slows down
And creeps so slowly out of town
You will be sitting at the very back
As you ride along the furrowed Track
That leads you to your last Destiniation
The end of Life, the final station

I heard a story once about Life being like a bus ride. When we are young we are in the driver`s seat, steering and accelerating and in control. then one day we will become passengers and with each passing year will move one row further back. At the end we are stretched out on the big seat right at the back of the bus, enjoying the view and letting the young ones drive.
It is no longer "our" bus and it now belongs to the next generation.
It`s up to them to do the driving now😉
