Loss and Treasure
There is a point we reach in life
where we lose more than we gain
be it people, money, teeth or hair
We need to treasure what remains
If it's hair that we have lost
And our scalp is now exposed
we need to deal with what is left
and make our style not look posed
Teeth, now there's a mouthful
A subject that will make me smile
I left mine on a hilltop
And they've been up there a while
Money, what is there to say
That has not been said before?
The sinking dollar and inflation
Adds me to the working poor
But family, yes I said family
More die now, we're at that age
When we attend too many funerals
Instead, no weddings take the stage
Treasure your belongings
Your teeth, money and hair
But, remember all your loved ones
One day, they won't be there
