GROWING OLD

GROWING OLD

Growing old is not a job for sissies

Some of us may still have our hair

With all the problems that it brings

Thank God we still have Medicare

Those Ritis brothers have taken over

Each of our bones from top to bottom

And if any teeth that we have are ours

We’re lucky that we’ve still got them

Remembering things we need to do

Has also not been the easiest of tasks

The batteries in the hearing aids

Seem to wear out much too fast

These are just a handful of so many things

Which are part of the process of growing old

But the advantages far outweigh the problems

And are worth so much more than silver or gold

No more getting up early to go to work

Now we can do more things we enjoy

It’s a feeling like some children get

Just playing with a brand new toy

We get to enjoy the grandkids a lot more

As they get older and continue to grow

Telling them things from our experiences

So many of which they might never know

We’re thankful for the senior discounts

They help us to save every penny we can

When we look back at so many memories

We know it’s a part of God’s perfect plan
