Funny, I don't feel old...
but my age says I am;
this fact I seldom ponder,
as I cover my toast with jam.
Yeah, my skin's starting to wrinkle,
and I bruise quite easily;
and my hair is already gray,
as I sit, sipping my tea.
My mind feels young and eager,
my walking and hiking is strong;
yet the days seem shorter and shorter,
and the nights don't seem as long.
Age is just a number,
birthdays an endless fad;
but I realize in living,
my days are both good and bad.
Funny, I don't feel old,
though youth's a long ago fling;
the heart is always forgiving,
and the soul's a beautiful thing.
