GROWING OLD TOGETHER

I’m going to give you a simple fact that you may find convoluted
But I think I’m on solid ground when I say it cannot be refuted.

In spite of all the products to make us look younger...no matter what they say
Each and every one of us is getting older everyday.

We can lather on the anti-aging cream and stay out of inclement weather
But the truth is everyone of us is growing old...together.

We can follow steps for younger looking skin, we can take showers that are colder
But when we wake up in the morning we’re all one more day older.

I saw an article the other day on how to look 7 years younger in 7 weeks
And I started to peruse it as my curiosity was piqued.

If I followed their simple steps...even Dr. Oz agreed
I could look 7 years younger in 7 weeks...guaranteed.

But then I thought why stop at 7 years when I could have much more
After all 61 minus 7 is only 54.

If I repeated their system a second time wouldn’t I be in heaven
If after 14 weeks on their plan I now looked 47?

Next I realized.. if I persisted... if I somehow possessed the drive
In 63 weeks if I kept going I could look like I was 5.

Then it hit me...when I reached this point in 5 more weeks what would people say
Because if my math is correct by that time I should just fade away.

So I have decided for me at least since I’m getting older I will be more wise
I’ll try to eat the right things, get plenty of sleep and find time to exercise.

For me looking younger is not important.  I’ll try to ignore that myth

And be happy to have found a person whom I’ll grow old together with.
