I wish the strength I once possessed
Would come again to me
My body strong as when I was young
No more these maladys

I wish that I could hear once more
The things I used to hear
The chirping bird a crunching leaf
Once these were so clear

Once my  eyes could clearly read
Words upon a page
But now the words they only blur
The more as I age

I have so many aches and hurts
Within my bodies frame
But there was a time when I did not
O if I could be young again
