I’m a little scared...
I have been spending the week at my 85 year old mother’s house. It is sad to see how some previously active people deteriorate as they get older. As I pass the age that is generally regarded as middle age, thoughts turn to concerns about getting older...
I’m a little scared...
I’m a little scared
Of getting old
Of being well past
My sell by date
I’m a little scared
Of losing my mind
Not being able to think
Or contemplate
I’m a little scared
Of losing my function
My independence
Not able to operate
I’m a little scared
Of forgetting
My name or people
Who I used to call my mate
I’m a little scared
Of frustrating
My wife and kids
While wallowing in a mixed up state
I’m a little scared
Is it down to me?
Can I not control?
Is it simply fortune and fate?
