THE GIFT OF LIFE

AGING WITH EACH PASSING DAY,
PROBLEMS ON MY SHOULDER WEIGH,
WISER WITH MUCH MORE TO SAY,
I KEEP GOING FORWARD ON MY WAY.

YOUTH IS BEAUTY HEAVEN SENT,
LASTING A WHILE IT CAME AND WENT,
THEN ONE DAY WITHOUT A HINT,
GOD TOOK BACK THE YOUTH HE LENT.

OLDER NOW WITH COURAGE AND INTEGRITY,
I KNOW JUST HOW I SHOULD BE,
HELPFUL, PEACEFUL, HAPPY AND FREE,
THAT IS WHAT I PRAY FOR ME.

AGING WITH BEAUTY AND WITH GRACE,
TAKING ON CHALLENGES FACE TO FACE,
SOLVINL PERDICEMENTS WITH SAVY AND HASTE,
REALIZING THERE IS NOT A MOMENT TO WASTE.
