i don't feel my age

i try every day to erase the fact

that over 60 years have passed me by

i try every day to erase the fact

that i am a

little slower

little more tired

little more incapable

little more older

i try every day

not to look at the time that has passed me by

but

to look at the time

i have ahead of me

and

the new adventures that life will present

i try every day

to look at time

as just

that

time

and

keep myself young of 

heart

and 

mind

yet

no matter how hard i try

someone

always reminds me

of the facts

i try to erase
