That Old Feeling

How many times have you looked at yourself And wished you were someone new You don't like what you see right now And your voice you really hate too You feel as though your bums to big Or your hair to messy or short Your shoes don't match the pants you wear And you hate this shirt you just brought There's wrinkles showing on your face And bulging through your clothes Your bras to tight and nickers to small There's so much that you loathe It now takes time to get it right Is it really worth the while To dress up this, that's getting old And parade a little fake smile Your not as young as you want to be Or fit as you would like Exercise is now a chore And so is riding a bike Although these changes I may not like I can accept them now For with age does come with blues But we do get through somehow Age is something we all can't fight So let go of all your fears And then you'll realise so enough It was not worth all those tears

You can't fight the ravages of time, but as you have demonstrated here, with age comes wisdom.
