Senior Moments
SENIOR MOMENTS
In our lives, there comes a time
When we find that we're past our prime
Even though we're no spring chicken
We're glad to be alive and kickin'
Maybe our hair is thin and gray
But it doesn't have to stay that way
There's Loreal and Miss Clairol
And Grecian Formula, and that's not all
We can get a toupee or maybe a wig
And look spiffy enough to dance a jig
We could all dress up in our finest clothes
And strike a dashing handsome pose
We can sit and dream of days gone by
Recalling when we were young and spry
We say with a nod, a wink, and a grin
I wish it could be that way again
But we're soon snapped back to reality
And begin to long for eternity
Realizing that God in His infinite plan
Made a provision for woman and man
So let's not dwell on bygone days
And wish again for those primitive ways
Let's thank the Lord for the here and now
And what we earned by the sweat of our brow
Then in that land beyond the sun
He can say to all of us, “well done”
We'll be ushered in and take a seat
To worship forever at Jesus' feet
