BY PAUL L. GLAZE




When You Are Twenty, You Are Very Young.
Life Is To Live, There Are Songs To Be Sung.

When You Are Thirty You Are Now Only Young.
As Ten More Years Your Body Has Now. Brung.

When You Are Forty, You Are The Oldest Young.
Life Has Even Taught You To Bite Your Tongue.

When You Are Fifty, You Are The Youngest Old.
Glories And Stories Of Life, You Now Have Told.

When You Are Sixty, You Now Are Only Old.
Your Voice Is Softer, And Daring, Less Bold.

When You Are Seventy, You Are More Than Old.
As Your Body Temperature Is Somewhat Cold.

When You Are Eighty, You Are A Lucky Person.
To Even Be Alive As Life Becomes Worsen.

When You Are Ninety, You Are An Ancient Sage.
For How Many People Can Reach That Age.

If You Reach A Hundred,
For Life You Had A Feel.
Do Not Brag Of Your
Determination And Will.
For You Will Have A Body
Thatıs Made Of Steel!
