I learned the truth at 65 That love and laughter have survived Nothing in this world is free This Ugly Duckling becomes a swan when he looks at me When you open up the spaces that yesterday and time erases Sometimes you go it alone Lonely is like a discarded bone Guess it’s true, I survived the pain Since then love is different but yet the same Maybe happy to be alive at 65 We jump the hurdles and find a way to thrive We live life completely in awe For all, we have been through and never really saw Doesn’t matter about not being called when choosing sides for basketball Now, it's golf, tennis, or pickleball At 65 At 65
