Is That all there is?
I was an anxious child
To the future I was dialed
Never to be content
What a predicament
I was too young to hear
But I felt the fear
When would I be old?
I asked so anxiously bold
A year older, wow
Still to young, holy cow!
Then I turned eight
It had been a long wait
Soon I was twelve
Like a statue on the shelve
The years seem to fly by
I graduated Junior high
Went to high school
It was fun and somewhat cool
College bound, hardly wait
Courses filled the slate
And on and on I went
My life on full sprint
Earned good money and benefits
To climb the ladder I commit
Nervous breakdown
Smile turned to a frown
Medical condition, retired
To the future I had conspired
I realized I was old
Life was hard and cold
I sighed Is That all there is?
