All In Due Time

A step or two slower
  Expectations lower 
You don't fit in so well
  Withdrawn in your shell

Your colleagues look younger
  You don't have their hunger
More frequent, your blunders
  Boss smiles; they don't stun her

You miss work 'cos you're sick
  And don't get better so quick
When you return, you're not well
  Your commute can be hell

Whispers about you abound
  Your thoughts whirl around 
Yet maybe they're wrong
  Why's the day seem so long?

Now the company's been sold
  Will they get rid of the old
Those past their prime
  ~ All in due time, friend
       All in due time
