One day I will be old
My skin will spot and flake
My eyes will cloud and glaze
My lips will curl over my gums
On those days I'll be tired
The sun will hold it's winter cold
for longer
And I will watch life move on without me
Today I am young
And grateful
I look at the world
And I'm a part of it
Most people believe life is short
But they are wrong
Life is long
Every minute filled with beauty
and fear and hope
So when I'm old
My final days fading into
My final nights
I pray you watch me
and know
I was young once
And I lived
