Age Is Just a Number

Age is just a number It's not a true sign that one who is a senior is not in their right mind Age is just a number it does not matter all that much as long as you're a child of God you will feel His merciful touch I've always believed that the older one gets the more one is filled with God's Holy Spirit And I've always believed that like a fine expensive wine as one gets older, you only get better with time Age is just a number getting old shouldn't make you feel sad as far as I'm concerned getting old ain't so bad You might now need a walker or a cane As arthritis and bursitis are your new middle name You now have a fabulous head of hair that's silver or gray But that's just maturity and wisdom on full display People might start calling you "Pops" or "Ma'am" or referring to you as an "Old Vet" but just because there's snow on the rooftop does not mean the fire in the furnace is out yet So bask in the wisdom that comes with age and savor the prime of your life as age is only a number it does not matter in your walk with Christ Just simply enjoy the respect and honor of attaining a ripe old age as the "Baby Boomers" are becoming seniors getting old is now all the rage
