You're not as young
as you used to be,
stooped over
with weak, and bad knees,
your lower back is aching,
there are pains everywhere,
arthritis, aching joints, but
Life has Been Fair,
You can't move like you used to
You are starting to slow down,
You take your time now,
Carefully moving yourself around
You're fatigued, breathy and tired,
You are out of breath indeed,
You can't do it like you used to,
Settling down is what you really need.
Your bones are cracking,
Your get up us gone
People's move ahead of you
As you are slowly pushing along
Be careful what you do, and
Please take your time, because,
You're no spring chicken,
Your youth has left you Behind!!!
