When You
Get Old
© by Bud Lemire on May

Life isn't
easy when you get old
The golden
years aren't really gold
Our bodies
age and aren't meant to last
Our time in
life goes way too fast
Our legs give
out and we take a fall
We endure our
condition, we take it all
As we age and
get old
We are always
being told
Our freedom
is taken away
Wondering
what will be in each day
Being watched
with all we do
Like children
that we once knew
Our eyes go,
and it's hard to see
Visions of
how it use to be
The music
that we once heard
Flies away
like the yellow bird
Even our
brain starts to decay
We forget
exactly what to say
Where are we,
where do we belong
Everything
just seems so wrong
Getting old
isn't fun for me
But it's the
human way to be
We are mortal, so we
age with time
We must enjoy our years
while we can
Because time moves on,
and our bodies
age. Yet there is
hope, if you believe,
our souls become young
once again,
when we pass away.
