As We Age

Life changes as we all age
Thouh daily demands the same,
While interest is gone and dust piles up
We're lonely for someone to call our name.

Begin to do things monthly
Often we dont go real far,
Many days glued watchin re-runs
Trying to remember where we parked the car.

Exciting to hear the phone ring
Jump up at a knock on the door,
Heart skips a beat at an invitiation
Without these life is just a bore.

The senior years can be so pleasant
For there is calmness for you,
When all else fails, theres bingo
After all, what else can you do.
