You Are As Young As You Feel

They say you’re only as young as you feel And I say, that can’t be right, can’t be real I may think like a person twenty-three But walk like a person with a bad knee! When I was young I slept like a baby Now sleep thru the night, well only maybe My spine was once as straight as a tall tree Now standing up straight is a chore for me! I’ll avoid all mirrors when possible My insides are good, outside horrible I try hard to look as young as I think When others see that, I’m met with a wink! This trying to look young is only an act I am what I am, and that is a fact!
