HOW TRUE IT IS
Another
year has passed
And
we're all a little older.
Last
summer felt hotter
And
winter seems much colder.
I
rack my brain for happy thoughts,
To
put down on my pad,
But
lots of things, That come to mind
Just
make me kind of sad.
There
was a time not long ago
When
life was quite a blast.
Now
I fully understand
About
"Living in the Past".
We
used to go to friends homes,
Baseball
games and lunches.
Now
we go to therapy, to hospitals,
And
after-funeral brunches.
We used to have
hangovers,
From
parties that were gay.
Now
we suffer body aches
And
sleep the night away.
We
used to go out dining,
And
couldn't get our fill.
Now
we ask for doggie bags,
Come
home and take a pill.
We
used to travel often
To
places near and far.
Now
we get backaches
From riding in
the car.
We
used to go out shopping
For
new clothing at the Mall
But,
now we never bother...
All
the sizes are too small.
That,
my friend is how life is,
And
now my tale is told.
So,
enjoy each day and live it up...
Before
you're too damn old!!
