In the winter of my life I don't miss my youthful body As much as i miss my youthful spirit I was full of life those days Oh...what days they were! Hanging out with friends Going on roadtrips Discovering,exploring Constantly on the move Boredom and loneliness were alien to me My confidence was sky high Sometimes i felt like there was nothing that i couldn't do I had the courage to try new things And now as i look at myself Fragile bones Grey hair Sans teeth Wrinkled face Tired soul Tired mind I wonder-'what's happened to me?' I have been told that it's all a part of the natural ageing process But i still find it so hard to accept I've tried to live the best i could Sure i have regrets But some moments of pride as well I've seen the many facets of life The many colours that it offers I've seen the highs I've experienced the lows I've seen friends turn foes I've seen war I've felt love I've seen days on the street And nights on park benches But i was strong then I had the courage and the will to fight Nothing deterred me or bogged me down I've lost that strength now Life has taken it's toll on me I feel i can't go any further What i miss most now is the joy of company It's just me and the four walls Sitting alone in my room I wait for my time I don't keep much news of the outside world now I've virtually lost every connection You see loneliness is new to me And i'm not quite sure as to how to deal with it So i guess i'll just be patient If you notice you'll see that when you reach the winter of your life The circle of your life is complete In effect you are back to where you started You become a child once again It's like a man is reborn before he dies While it's exciting to reach that stage At times it's so scary But then such is the journey of life And i guess that's what makes it such an incredible experience
