The older I get
I look back again and again
How change is part of life
But I still feel the same
Work ethics change
From youth to adulthood
Maturity a great teacher
Learning a tranquil mood
Now an older man
I see the changes in me
And how I’ve not changed that much
What always mattered to me
Life can bring you down
But can also bring you up
As you get older
Learning a refined touch
Take it one day at a time
Don’t sweat the small stuff
It’ll take care of itself
In time enough
I’d rather die
Without all the stress
And when that day comes
You can lay me to rest
