We Think We Are Invincible
The Sad Truth
We are not
We live each day like we have many more to come
Even though the real truth
This could be are very last
We postpone things today for tomorrow
Like we have all the time in the world
We say things we shouldn't
Not knowing how are words can affect so many other people
Some days we are lazy
Other days we are confused and dazed
Doing things that really don't matter
At that very moment
They seem so important
In the big scheme of things
They are really not a big deal
Are attention is directed to those who we dislike and get under our skin
Instead of spending time
With those people who really matter
We begin to understand it more when we get older
When the loved ones we once knew are no longer here
So as we make the final cut
Going one more round
Shall we show the world
A little fun never hurt anyone
A smile makes people happy
Holding your hand out to help
is better than pushing or waving good bye
If we stop and think
The time we have left
Can motivate and bring a little more joy
It can be cunning and clever
Witty and filled with excitement and filled with riddles
That people can guess and wonder
What if?
I continue where he left off
What more can I do
That brings us all closer together
So I also may be remembered
Not as a tough old leather shoe
That was hard as nails
Impossible to deal with
Aggravating and annoying
Giving us blisters for no reason
Impossible to avoid
Too hard to get rid off
An extension of us
No matter what we thought
That could have been
So much more
A lesson too many
A worthy old soul
Trusty and reliable
Always taking one step farther
When others turn away
There through the good times and bad
Aging as we all do
Having it's share of problems
Never once did it hold us back
Weathering every storm
When we never new the outcome
Finally worn and beaten
Broken when times were never better
A true reminder of a life
Well lived and always willing to give
