I Am An Old Codger

Improving our status requires hard work. 

An abundance of years has made us old.
Majority of school mates have gone on.

And accelerating days increase our speed
Newly reborn by accepting Jesus as my personal savior.

Only as old as we feel.
Liar, liar, pants are on fire
Death has it’s eye on us.

Cozy was not synonymous with old.
Objective in life, is outperforming our expectations.
Death is the payment for our use of space.
Golden years is a misnomer, some are more like rust.
Edifying God always makes our life easier.
Recommend making your peace with God before it’s late.
