I look in my mirror who do I see?
Some times a stranger staring back at me
I see the wrinkles forming as if right before my eyes
I say I feel like a teenager but my pains know that it’s lies
I am rushing up to 50 not long left now to go
It is just another birthday for this old so and so
Is 50 old? I am now not so sure
If I could be young again would I take the cure?
I must admit I like my age I find it quiet fun
To look down on the teenagers and call them all son
What about daughter? :) Great work! 10 for me!
... truly enjoyed '50'. You make a statement so clear that even I can relate, and that's coming from a guy who once embraced the 'hope I die before I get old' philosophy... should tell that to 'The Zimmers'. Anyway, wonderfully done! ! !
