I’m gliding, not fighting As I enter later years. I’m skating, not debating As I face my aging fears. I see what I was afraid of Were just phantasms only. They leave too many scared With talk of being lonely.
Go away with bearboo talk. Nobody is frighted here. It’s just another day for me It’s nothing but another year! Age is not the bogeyman It comes along with the ride. It’s part of what made my life It’s proof that I have tried.
**** and chest swapped places My hair is wandering south. All that goes very swiftly Is my energy and my mouth. Everything is changing now I am not a kid any more. I spend time in pharmacy aisles More than the rest of the store.
But none of this unexpected. I watched others go through it. It’s not like it was ever a secret. No mystery. I totally knew it. So I plan to celebrate this stage Which means I must slow down And take things as they come No reason to whine, cry or frown.
