Oh boy I saw it ...it hurt way bad
the mirror image of old and sad
I thought i was a young guy
just plodding along
and then I saw it and all was wrong
I hated that man that I didnt know
starring back no smile or glow
age had taken youth away
yet I was young ..yesterday
A shock did follow that age had won
it took its time ..now times begun
I knew from then that seconds out
a time reflected aged and stout
So heart and head still youthfull wish
body not so age- eth with
fingers crinckled lines are drawn
fighting so ...a seen new dawn
one thing so.. we all will do
knock on deaths door ..me and you !
