Happy Birthday

Day after day, year after year The world itself is getting older What scares me the most! Is that I’m just not getting bolder… To face what lies ahead What is yet to come! For as my age grows I start losing all the fun My hairs drop, my knees weaken My eyes lose all sight My teeth drop out one by one And soon I will see a light… Coming to take me away From the world that is by now too old Ready for another adventure A new spiritual role…. That is what I’m afraid of And yet we celebrate that one day Where it’s supposed to be a happy one But I know what’s coming my way! I rather just wait for death to come For it’s inevitable no matter what you do I just hope I’m going to a better place Hope to be one of the few… That will have peace for an eternity A place to call a new home Where I will never age And where I know I’ll never be alone!!
