Old Age
Oh, with trembling hands, I feel the
cane a shaking
With some difficulty, I can feel my feet
struggle when I am walking
Yet, without my love for life, I would
not even survive
This body of mine, getting old and delicate,
has done its time
The time when I was young is still fresh
in my mind
The way I liked to dance and listen to
the music, so long ago
And remember how it has soothed my soul,
my heart and my rhythms of life
And praying real hard, another decade I shall
survive
My skin no long smooth, it is becoming
some found some wrinkle
But up above I can still see the Milky
Way and all the bright stars twinkle
My eyes do suffer a little bit at night,
as they are worn and fading
But during the day, my sunlight is still
bright, making me smile
So I feel my body ache, my body is
shaking as I walk each precious mile
Each mile I take with each step it
takes, I risk another bone breaking
And in the end, my life has been
complete and none of it was faking
No matter how much pain I can bear, in the
end I cannot let it be defeat
And if the gates of heaven should open
and start calling my name
I know I can get there without
struggling or falling, even without my cane
For my ears will always listen for the
trumpet’s sound
And my heart will know it is the nature
of the call that is profound
A chance for heaven, a chance for bliss,
there is no way, I am taking the chance to miss
That heavenly journey up into the sky,
never questioning my time, never asking why
I shall take a deep breath, my heart
will beat once more, and then, I sleep and die
And make me a promise, my dear family
and friends, for me, you will not cry
