So many people think with dread
Another birthday lies ahead!
They quail at time's relentless tread
Whilst trudging on with feet of lead.
Their eyes are dimmed with tears they shed
And hopeless thoughts invade their head!
They think of pages yet unread,
And read obituaries instead.
But age is something I ignore!
Though aches and pains I've had galore,
I say, This one I've had before!
Whatever aches are still in store
I just don't stop to keep the score.
But birthdays come, of that we're sure,
I've seen a few and hope for more.
Next birthday I'll be seventy-four!
Youth Is A State Of The Soul -
Nothing To Do With Age, But Everything To Do With Attitude.
