Growing Older

Aging is not a young person's game,
When you are young you stay the same,
But when you are old and shorter of breath,
You are counting down to inevitable death.

Being young means you wish to be older,
And life experiences can make you bolder,
Whilst being older your mind says go,
But reality kicks in and your body says no.

If i could I'd choose to be young,
With what I've seen and what I've done,
But that's not at all the way this works,
But being older still has its perks.
