The Road
It speaks of the hardships when growing old.

The Road

Though the road is long and treacherous,
I can't give up.
Though ailments beset me,
I can't quit.

I must plod this earth as a stranger,
March ever forward.
Though my body is tired and worn,
I must go on.

I'd like to find my final resting place.
Depart this wordly realm,
But the time is not yet,
I must go on.
