You’re Older

You might as well embrace it
Autumn shows in your face
The pointed direction we’re going
Closes a family circle
You’re older

Look at what you’ve done now
Children and grand ones to dot on
And someone who’ll love you when you call
Through decades of sunshine and snowfall
You’re older

I’ve never seen such glowing
I’ve never known such care
These days were meant to be golden

Dying is something we all do
Like it or not
It’s natural
Best that we keep it on the tip of our tongues
Talking about it might help us
When we’re older
