It isn’t easy getting old and yet, There is so little we have to do Wake up and make it through the day Days turn into weeks; weeks to years, and Before you know it, you are gray It isn’t easy getting old, but Holding on to your youth is hard The aches and pains The stuttered steps, the faded memories Friends, lost along the way It isn’t easy getting old In my head I’m still twenty-five Vital and alive, but My body doesn’t agree It’s failing me It isn’t easy getting old, but the wise ones take it in stride Making the best of what is Becoming an older version of Who they were and are It isn’t easy getting old, but The pretenders imagine clothes and makeup Can hide their age They are the only ones being fooled It isn’t easy getting old But what is the alternative At every age in our life We are as young as our The laughter and love in our heart the spirit that transcends age
