The years seem to go fast beyond the human physical prime
And eventually we all become victims of time
And for as long as the gift of memory in us last
Our memories are all we retain of the past
Those feeling healthy and well in their old age only in the few
And this is not saying anything that is new
The octogenarians of body and mind quite sound
One can say in large numbers do not abound
Though you may be one short on material wealth
If you are ageing feel happy to be in good health
In truth you are far better off than the dying billionaire
On a hospital bed under intensive care
Losing life's battle and waiting to die
That you are the lucky one is not a lie.
