For Most Of Us Ageing People

For most of us ageing people the past has been a mixture of laughter and tears
But in memory we only can go back the years
To when we were younger a long time ago
Long before time itself did become our foe
In memory we only can go back in time
To when we were younger and in our lives prime
But time did not wait for us it ticked on and on
And we cannot physically return to what has been and gone
Of the what has been only memories remain
And in memory we only can go back again
To the days before age on us began to show
And the legs that moved fast then are now walking slow
And time on our lives ever ticking away
And each dawn one dawn nearer to our last night and day.
