I Am Never Too Old To Start Again
There are so many things people can say.
All I ever hear is a worn out cliché.
They tell me to save money for a rainy day.
Well, I am in for some very stormy weather.
If I want to survive, I have to get it together.
There is a very small boat I stay afloat in.
I have to share the space with friends and kin.
Their arrows can pierce my heart without breaking the skin.
Things are the same both now and then.
I am never too old to start again.
