There’s Nothing Wrong in Being Old
By Marc Leavitt of Marc Leavitt's Blog
There’s nothing wrong in being old,
It comes to all, if truth be told.
The young think that the old are done,
And should stay home, their races run.
Our lives are chapters in a book,
And each one’s worth a second look,
The pages full of joy and strife,
All aspects of a busy life.
The young grow old, and once were young,
The fact on which the story’s hung;
No use to grumble or to fear
The story’s end, when bedtime’s near.
