I WONDER HOW IT HAPPENS
As our bodies change with agin’
Our muscles wan with aches and pain
There’s less we can engage in
The stuff that makes us young and strong
Gives way as we get old
And leaves us tired and fragile
As our skin begins to fold
The secret stuff that siphons off
As we begin to drift
Might seep into our souls and then
Through time help give it lift
The older that our bodies get
Our souls fill more with youth
To help us in our travels
As we journey towards our truth
Anyway, one thing’s for sure
Our health will soon diminish
We better get things done right now
Then trundle to the finish
