Growing older I do not like
It’s harder to take a simple hike
I can’t even find my 10-speed bike
It’s buried behind
recycle bags
Growing older can make me cry
watching loved ones up and die
It seems I’m always wondering why
but life moves on
the years fly by
However:
Growing older still lets me dance
a little slower, but I’ll take a chance
So many things, the years enhance
and I’ll proudly wear
my plus-size pants
Growing older may lift me high
I’ll see new things, I’m gonna try
There’s a lot to live before I die
I’ll experience it all
just watch me fly
