Growing older has it's pitfalls,
Aging has a share of pain,
There are things to miss that you may have done,
But discover what remains,
Life after youth
And the youth of later life ... if you look for it

Life is what you make it
Like a child needing fed,
The best you can afford to feed,
Be lavish with the spread
Look for joy in all the little things
That sit outside each door
Jog and bounce around your memories
While building up some more

Be outgoing, smile and laugh
Speak with firm conviction
Plant some seeds when time permits
For any of your wisdoms
Sing a song, tell a joke
Where your voice may mean so much
And never turn away from sharing
A warm and loving touch

You can't avoid all pitfalls
Like road hazards, they multiply
So top off any creeping depressions
With good humor and watchful eye
