Getting Old

Getting old has its disadvantages Of course we know that’s true But also, looking at it close There are good things too for you We have more time I think To do the things we never could We can re-arrange our schedules As we never knew we would Of course, we’re getting a little rusty Like the color of a red dirt road We have our cloudy days often, but We don’t have such a heavy load Our kids are raised and now we can Enjoy and spoil the next generation We smile a lot at those precious kids When they leave we have relaxation We’re in the autumn or winter years Of our long and interesting journey We’ve dropped our perfect leaves by now But we don’t have to be in such a hurry We can take the time to ponder too Good times and some that left a scar But all are so important because They have made us the person we are So let’s enjoy today – take time to reflect Our life as it continues to unfold Think mostly of the pleasant things That comes from getting old!
