One day older ! Oh, you are right !
Even last week has gone out of sight.
But it was OK to anticipate,
and remembering was fun — that was great !
Somehow I got older, gradually . . .
years flew by, forgetting started — in me !
Wish I had more photos, well organized;
At least school yearbooks are a prize.
Remembering info is such a chore
So, write it down, your achievements and more.
Exercise your brain by learning new stuff.
Handle those challenges; is that enough !
So friend, this is my suggestion for you:
Keep your body in good shape, your mind, too.
God gave you a life — how long will it last ?
Ask Him for help and blessings; life goes fast.
Great promises in the Bible you find.
Read them, keep those words in your mind.
Eternal life — imagine the bliss !
Jesus loves you, so don’t miss out on this !!!
