Growing Old

^^^Above are the two words which  haunted me this week…

I don’t want to grow old

And start loosing my hair fast

But I want to grow old

And quickly forget my past

I don’t want to grow old

I really wish my youth phase would last

But I want to grow old

Cos I tire to amass wealth so vast

I don’t want to grow old

And start to walk with a stick

But I want to grow old

Knowing I have reached my life’s peak

I don’t want to grow old

And start developing an arthritic streak

But I want to grow old

And stop worrying about what day it is in the week

I don’t want to grow old

Then start wondering, when would be my last breathe

But I want to grow old

Knowing I still have the gene of strong family health

I don’t want to grow old

And have to see at every life’s corner; death

But I want to grow old

And spend weekends wondering how to spend my wealth

I don’t want to grow old

And see my remaining hair turn grey, even my beards

But I want to grow old

And see my kids become newly weds

I don’t want to grow old

And mostly find myself constricted to hospital beds

But I want to grow old

And see if my smile can still turn heads

I don’t want to grow old

And have everyone call me pops

But I want to grow old

Knowing I have no teeth to be decayed by excess lollipops

I don’t want to grow old

And have stomach only for light soda pops

But I want to grow old

And not bother to say excuse when I burp

I don’t want to grow old

And die of mere boredom

But I want to grow old

Doing things at random

I don’t want to grow old

And have people expecting all my words to be full of wisdom

But I want to grow old

Knowing I am going to my fathers kingdom
