Age

Are you in your sixties? Common don't be rigid Don't make age make you livid Age can be flawless and lawless Age is just a number In any particular order We may count our experiences But they will not always match up Age is a blast For some memories hold fast For others memories fade fast And there is never an age that will last Are you in your forties? Common don't be frigid The numbers come and go with a rapid pace Slowly we must accept to grow old with grace Age is just a digit In youth, age we inherit With old age one needs a permit And both lives are usually of high merit Are you in your teens? How splendid! That life moves rapid Life could easily become valid or invalid Age is an abstract You can minus, add or subtract But our ups and downs don't always add up Age can take you to the top or make you complete flop Age is just a figure That in every passing moment we must endure It is symbol of life! That bites into the veins of society like a knife Ignore all, ignore all For age smiles upon us a simple joke Sleeping on our skins as it pokes and pokes Age is just a disguise and a harmless quote Copyright 2012 - Sylvia Lovina Chidi
