Never Too Old (To My Son)

You're never too old to ride a bike You're never too old to fly a kite You're never too old to read or write And of course, you're never too old to be polite. You’re never too old to live in regret You’re never too old to lose or make a bet You’re never too old to smoke a cigarette And obviously, you’re never too old to be in debt. You’re never too old to give up on life You’re never too old for worries or strife You’re never too old to play the guitar or the fife And certainly, you’re never too old to take a wife. You’re never too old to join a gym You’re never too old to learn to swim You’re never too old to have a whim And definitely, you’re never too old to be fit and trim. You're never too old to sit and cry You're never too old to scream and question 'why' You're never too old to be told a lie And without a doubt, you’re never too old, to die. When I was a young man I had always been told That only once in my lifetime, will I journey life’s road So, as I look upon my son whom I am his mold I will assuredly tell him; that you’re never too old.
