As kids we learned by watching, and we did what we were told
And we were taught to work so hard, we started feeling old
As teens we thought we knew it all, yet couldn't concentrate
A hurry to get older, but were always running late
When in my twenties, I was back into the baby stage
But then I blinked, I looked around and I was middle age
At forty we would care enough to still fight for a cause
Our fifties cares were more about prostate and menopause
So many times I've heard them say the phrase, "been there, done that"
It's been so long since I've been there, I don't know where 'that's' at
They often say that in this life, there are no guarantees
But I know of a couple; if I laugh too hard or sneeze
And all the changes in my lifetime happened when I blinked
So I'm just hoping the next time won't mean I'll be extinct
My husband knows I have four guys in bed, but not for~play
Their names ~ Art-Thritis, Charlie Horse, Will Power and Ben Gay
Someday if I become senile, it doesn't mean life ends
We'll still all be together, but you'll be my NEW best friends
