The years are taking their toll.
Another birthday has now arrived.
People you meet say you're still looking young.
With a smile, you wink and say, "Nice try."
You have a few more aches and pains.
A different one each day.
Your eyesight's none too clever,
And your hearing has started to fade.
Your memory has gone on vacation,
Although you no longer travel too far.
You try to avoid meeting old friends

To hug someone with
Live, love, laugh,

Time seems short when it's just you and I,
Roses are red,
Violets are blue.
Sugar is sweet,
And I love you.
