Old Age Creeps Up On Sam
On Sam Adam’s 66th birthday
He felt old and run down
Just felt burned out
His body worn out
His vision fading
His hearing shot
His teeth aching
His back enflamed
He felt the breath
Of the coming of the end
The end of life
Coming for us all
As we age
And wait for death’s final embrace
Ending the pain of living
With pain every day.
