"Growing Old" (Excerpt, From the Cradle and Beyond),
Frequent Trips to the Mirror...Crows Feet line the surfaces beneath both your once Large Beautiful Eyes....At least that's what you see from time to time....Old Wrinkled Skin, that now falls to one side....Instead.....Tired Ole' Pretty Faces are trying to brace themselves up for Company and Friends....Scratchy Ole' Voices ring out, when they need to rest..A Brief Vacation you would enjoy at best, so you can revive...Folks talking to you like Babies, such as when you were First Born...The kind you used to Baby-Sit...and Care for so long ago.........
It's just so much you can take in order to stay in this (Human) Race - down here on Earth! .....How many times shall you reminisce and go back to the Day of your Birth!
You know you were there, because each Tiny Cell in your Body tells you this is true....... Besides it is quite gratifying to know - that all forms of Human Life get started this way...Oh, the Days can rough, and you have to be tough to survive this Whole Thing....Even if the Crows have set up Housekeeping, right underneath your eyes in your Face, now, it is so much harder to chase them away.....The Laugh Lines now capture your mouth..Your Cute Little Nose, that you once had, has now gone out on a Date....But......continued.....
