The ladder of life🙏

I am climbing up that long ladder of life, with my youthfulness behind my shoulder

I guess I have almost reached those twilight years, when one is wiser and more bolder

But then again are those qualities only noticed, in the eye of that beholder?

So stealthily but steadfastly, my footsteps follow one another

Down the paths of righteousness, and that DNA from my Father and my Mother

As I resemble my old folks more and more each and every day, plus a likeness to my brother

But then again that same blood runs right thru our veins, from one sibling to the tuther

And I am blessed with those marvellous memories, from beyond my bygone days

Although old photographs remind me, when my hazy head is in a haze

Coz our priceless recollections are to cherish, and remain with us always
