During my life I safely held the water back as a damn,

Now I have given up that struggle and am what I am.

Life is a book where you turn page after page,

Joyfully live your life and forget your age.

 

The thoughts of being at death's door I try to block,

But the truth is on the door I am afraid to knock.

Dying is a very cruel,dreary affair being lowered into a pit,

The bonus is you will never have anything to do with it.

 

My yesterdays walk with me as I get older,

Remind me of the good times as they peer over my shoulder.

Joy to my life my yesterdays do bring,

And just to be alive is a grand thing.
