Phoenix
Phoenix
Resigned to know I feel my heart
a beating drum to reach a stage
toward getting older where I feel
the aches and pain, that sometimes rage
With other aliments to inure
and aid from someone to adjure
improve myself where I assuage
measure my mind just as a guage
And as a Phoenix, I evolve
adopt its motif to resolve
in thought and purpose, I renew
my waning years, I bid adieu
