Face Up Courage High - Collaboration
Face up! Courage high. Up early? Great! Attitude fly!
Full of pep, vigour, vim.
In great shape, need no rest.
Jumping over peers
Who have lost their zest.
Lost their sight, their hearing, their lust, their sense of play.
Now for them is dead a nearing, throw me into this fray today.
Early mornings, unyielding, demanding,
I now do not do.
I loved early mornings, boo?
I do not remember…..oh!
Must have been long ago.
These early morning excursions
Ruthless now. I’m rather slow.
Served my purpose. Past my prime.
Don’t call me again before the crack of nine.
Senior picnic? Widowers about?
I will try one more day out.
