AGE IS JUST A NUMBER

A young friend of mine keeps saying to me

That age is just a number

He never will ever let me feel my age

Gets wild when I say I am getting dumber

Refuses to see my passing years

In his heart hiding some haunting fears

He thinks by colouring my grey hairs

My life might move in a reverse gear

Seen many a love but never like his

I sometimes worry and wonder

Should I sing and dance along with him

And say age is just a number

I stare at his face with a smile on my face

While he searching on mine for an aging trace

Emotions on his face all running in a race

With raised eyebrows , I a question place

We all will leave this world dear friend

God’s messenger well prepared will come

Come give your hand don’t droop and bend

Let laughingly with you live my life some

Ok I agree age is just a number

I agree I have no pain in my lumbar

I even give up my old age slumber

But smile till I am there you grumbler.

This young friend of mine keeps saying to me

That age is just a number.
