When I Was Young and Fair of Face

When I was young and fair of face My legs were strong; boy I could race! My mind was quick, could answer fast I thought this stage would always last! I lived each day, as I stood tall I’d always run, would never fall. Then skin grew thin; began to cry What happened here? Oh why, Oh why? I struggle now to see my face My legs now weak, no longer race. My mind is slow, no longer fast As years went by, it could not last. Now live each day; no longer tall Sometimes I win, sometimes I fall. I find great joy and seldom cry ‘Cus I’m alive, and this is why... By accepting my place in time, Altho’ it seems an uphill climb, This moment's all that’s given me I’m happy to just live, and be!
