Growing Old

Growing Old

© by Bud Lemire on June 25, 2012

Growing old isn't the easiest thing

We worry about health and what it will bring

As our bodies age, our health starts to fail

The pain we endure, is like a hammer on nail

It's harder to endure what we once did

Let's face it, we're no longer a kid

Muscles are aching, arthritis sets in

It's a fighting battle, that we'll never win

We must cherish each moment, without the pain

Smile when the sun shines, get through the rain

Walk a little slower, look all around

Be careful we don't find ourselves, on the ground

We must see the Doctor more often, for check ups each year

Wait for the results, to see what will appear

It's always better, when the results are okay

It's like an apple a day, keeps the Doctor away

Sometimes our health, has to do with our heart

It just doesn't beat right, and we're falling apart

Our heart is important, it helps us to live

With the heart of our soul, we learn to give

So much can hurt us as we're growing old

But love will keep us, from getting so cold

Everyone we know, at sometime will grow older too

It something us humans, always have to go through

Every day we get older. It's just something that happens.

But it is just a number, for inside, our soul, remains so very

young. For it's our body that withers in time.
