GETTING OLDER
I try not to think of getting older as the years go by
Just hope I’m getting wiser, as the hours quickly fly.
If, with passing moments, we try to do a good deed,
Not worry about getting older, so depression feed.

Being old is a state of mind, so quickly send it away,
As long as the heart beats and your legs move each day,
You can still stay young with wrinkles all over the face,
For as you think of others old age is quite out of place.

I must admit some things may become much harder to do,
It may take a little bit longer certain things to get through,
But do not give up trying, you can be young at ninety five,
Be an inspiration to others and teach them how to survive.

I still feel like a spring chicken, many things I can still do,
Just because you’re retired you don’t rest all day through,
Keep busy, be active, be helpful, let wisdom be your guide,
Serve the Master every day and His blessings He’ll not hide.
