Day To Day

As a young boy he looks to the future
Lives day to day, always looking ahead
It’s all about “when I grow up someday”
I’ll decide when I have to go to bed!

As a young man it’s fun times to be had
No parental rules to get in the way
Still building his future with job and wife 
Enjoying life’s challenges day to day!

With old age arriving, the time speeds up
And the aches and pains of aging arrive
While looking back on happy memories
He lives day to day just staying alive!
