Getting Older

I once thought that

I would last forever

Had no concerns at all

Burned the candles at both ends

And in the middle too

But there came a time when

I suddenly understood

Time, was moving quickly on

Everyone looks older

But not necessarily wiser

Certain songs are sung memories

Of times now long gone

Partying with people

Whose names I no longer remember

Yes indeed, life has moved on

Getting older

Getting bolder

With each passing day

Where there is a will

They say that there is a way

But the way my body feels

I’m sometimes not so sure

Quite frankly

The word manure

Or a derivation

Comes to mind

And you know

What I find

So bloody difficult

Is actually that

Aging is so damned

Unkind
