Let the fun begin!
I am not growing old

I am not growing old
My body aches
eyes don't adjust
can be a tad cranky
and a bit rounder
But I am not growing old


Underneath the color I should be is gray
wrinkles and sags multiply daily
my chin is not so firm
Yet I am not growing old

I laugh easily
joy surrounds me
I tell a great story
and oh, how I love!
I greet friends with kisses
meet strangers with touches
Each day is an adventure

I love stronger
passion is greater
and, oh yes!
In my heart of hearts
I am not growing old
