THE BEGINNING OF SOMETHING NEW

THE BEGINNING OF SOMETHING NEW

Whoever said that old age is "golden"
had to be slightly off-track with the verb!
There's nothing about it that's precious
'cept my sign that says "Do Not Distrub".

My hair has turned from gray to silver;
wrinkles are pronounced more each day.
I strain to hear the "romantic" new music
that the much younger folks always play.

It takes more gumption to get up and go!
The spirit has finally weakened, I fear;
It's time to start looking out at the world
and to try something different this year!

I'll start dusting away the cobwebs and
start thinking about what lies ahead.
There has to be more to life than this,
time to get UP and get out of my bed!

I'm ready to start moving, ready to roll,
it's time to think on what I should do!
Spring is not really that far away and
it's the beginning of something NEW!
