As we get on in years, there are a lot
of things, we find hard to do! Your mind
tells you one thing, but your body, can't,
carry it through! These are things we must
face, but it's not, how we thought it was
going to be! You don't want to accept,
what's happening to you, but you have
eyes and you, can see! You don't have to
give in, to these little changes, you can
make believe, they're not there! Don't talk
yourself, into feeling down and don't, give
into despair! Say to yourself, you're only
as old, as you think and with that attitude
in mind, you'll not, be over the brink! Even
though we're getting older, that doesn't
mean, we have to act older too! Get it out
of your mind, then you'll find, it's the best
thing, you'll ever do!
