Still Young

I put on my reading glasses to see the words

I put on suspenders as my back brace makes me out of shape

I see my gray hairs in the mirror every morning

I feel the terrible cramps of pain every night

I strain to get up and strain to sit down

My once thin waist now has its own area code

My once cute smile is now called creepy

I am still young, aren't I?

My youth hasn't passed me by yet?

I tell my self you are as young as you think

I am now thinking like an old man

But I still have the heart of a child
