   Another year has passed   
   And we're all a little older.   
   Last summer felt hotter   
   And winter seems much colder.   
       
   I rack my brain for happy thoughts,   
   To put down on my pad,   
   But lots of things that come to mind   
   Just make me kind of sad.   
       
   There was a time not long ago   
   When life was quite a blast.   
   Now I fully understand   
   About 'Living in the Past'.   
       
   We used to go to friends' homes,   
   Football games and lunches.   
   Now we go to therapy, to hospitals,   
   And after-funeral brunches.   
       
   We never had hangovers,   
   From parties that were gay.   
   But now we suffer body aches   
   And sleep the night away.   
       
   We used to go out dining,   
   And couldn't get our fill.   
   Now we ask for doggie bags,   
   Come home and take a pill.   
       
   We used to travel often   
   To places near and far.   
   Now we get backaches   
   From riding in the car.   
       
   Used to go out shopping   
   For new clothing at the Mall   
   But, now we never bother...   
   All the sizes are too small.   
       
   That, my friend is how life is,   
   And now my tale is told.   
   So, enjoy each day and live it up...

   Regards,
