Rog's Rhymes~~~Years and Tears



~THE SIG BOX~



Years and Tears

They say I'm way over the hill and a bit long in the tooth
Yet I'm a much better man today than I ever was as a youth
Today I feel for others, before, their problems never bothered me
I never thought that I would get old, crippled, and forgetful, you see

Age happens only to others, today can never be a long time ago
But the faster the green grass grows the more times you mow
Old age comes too swiftly upon us with all its frustrating fears
But empathy comes to us gradually though many years and tears
