Started Out Life As A Child

Started out life as a child
An amazing revelation for sure
Became a teenager, make no excuses
Those teenage years were a blur

Not as wild as one might think
More controlled than some of my peers
My younger life with all its unknowns
Still had a gazillion fears

My oh my, how time does fly
Seems I'm not going to live forever
Look in the mirror each morning and think
I once looked a whole lot better

Such is life, shouldn't expect any more
Don't deserve anything special
Try as we might to delay life's journey
For our destiny we must settle

When the final bell rings, and we take a look back
We feel we did the best that we could
Tried real hard to be a model citizen
All in all it turned out damn good!
