Aging

Oh, the play and all the staging

set for aging, aging, aging

Director to the actors paging

come forth on stage and do your part

enable life to create art

Oh, the play and all the staging

set for aging, aging, aging

thin of hair and memory fading

frail of limb, body degrading

Oh, the play and all the staging

set for aging, aging, aging

Thoughts of life with some dejection

not ready soon for more reflection

Oh, the play and all the staging

set for aging, aging, aging

Not to be spared the day of reckoning

I fear the reapers call comes

beckoning, beckoning,

Oh, life's play and all its staging

set for aging

aging

aging
