One More Behind Me
looking afraid..
Another birthday
Over once again
Not ready to think
About another one
Beginning…
One More Behind Me
looking afraid..
Another birthday
Over once again
Not ready to think
About another one
Beginning…
Another birthday
Over once again
Not ready to think
About another one
Beginning again
I have to now say
That for one single day
I turned the ripe old
Of a young 59
I don’t know why
It scares me like it does
But I am afraid of
Getting older
And afraid to die
I look at my skin
And I can see its age
I look at my eyes
And can see the new sag
But on the other hand
I have to think right
I have lived half
Of my life
And it wasn’t too bad
I hope for the best
And refuse to
Think the worst
I will just enjoy
Each day
And live like
It’s the last
