Seasoned Citizen
"I wrote this one for Senior Citizen Sunday."
Don Husted, Sr.
I remember way back when Life was a breeze when I was ten A real adventure full of fun Then all of a sudden-I’m thirty-one
That’s okay ‘cause life’s great for me Just think I’m only ... can you believe forty-three? Seems like yesterday I turned, wow ... really ... fifty-five? Well think nothing of it, things are great, I got it made So here we go ... oops! What happened to that last decade?
Well, so be it, I’ll make it cause I have just reasoned You see I’m not really old, I’m just seasoned How old are you people often ask As I go about my daily task
My answer is, I tell you true It all depends on your point of view But I’ll tell you as I tell everyone I’m as young as the dawn and as old as the sun
Then comes the question, like in a test Tell us please what age you like best Now there’s a simple answer to that The age I like best ... is the age that I’m at!
