THE WRINKLES ARE FORMING
AROUND MY MOUTH AND EYES,
THE LOOSE SKIN IS SAGGING
ON MY ARMS AND THIGHS;

MY PACE IS GETTING SLOWER
AND MY KNEES ARE GETTING WEAK,
MY SIGHT IS GROWING DIMMER
AND ALL I WANT TO DO IS SLEEP;

MY MUSCLES ARE GETTING STIFF
AND ARE OFTEN VERY SORE,
BECAUSE THE LITTLE ACHES AND PAINS
ARE MORE FREQUENT THAN BEFORE;

MY TEETH ARE IN A JAR
AND MY HAIR IS IN THE COMB,
I CAN'T HOLD A TRAIN OF THOUGHT
BECAUSE MY MIND HAS STARTED TO ROAM;

MY HEARING IS FADING
AND MY PATIENCE IS GROWING THIN,
I FORGET WHERE I'M GOING
AND CAN'T REMEMBER WHERE I'VE BEEN;

BUT I THANK YOU DEAR LORD
FOR ALL THE SIGNS I SEE,
BECAUSE IT JUST MEANS, "ANOTHER DAY"
THAT YOU HAVE GIVEN ME!
