So many years upon this Earth
And what did I achieve
I guess that I will never know
Until it’s time to leave
But one thing that I know for sure
Was in friends I did believe
So many friendships made and lost
Throughout the passing years
I wonder just how many
Will be quietly shedding tears
Soon I’ll be gone forever
No more for me life’s fears
And here I am just cursing
That fact that I did age
I’ve had so many years I know
Should be much wiser sage
But still more time is what I want
To leave mark on history’s page
I curse the days of growing old
Guess I do rave and rant
For all I really want my friend
Is to relive my life’s dance
But suddenly I stop a while
Remember those who had no chance
Those poor souls who died whilst young
The path of age not trod
For reasons we can’t understand
Were called early to see God
Their mortal selves forever young
Lay buried ‘neath the sod
So who am I to question
God’s plan for you and me
Although I know I must admit
It is so hard to see
Why some remain but children
For all eternity
So instead of cursing
The fact I’ve grown old
I guess it’s time to give my thanks
And ensure my thoughts are told
The thoughts of praise to God above
For my life worth more than gold
