I'M GETTING OLDER


  I first opened my eyes, once tiny and bright to this
  World,

  A memory I do hold but remember not as I was a baby.


  Pictures of my life are few compared to the window of
  My mind,

  Once only a child, things I knew were also few, children 
  Who played.,

  With this child are lost with time, always in my mind.


 The world seems smaller as my life has spread further 
  With the passing days,

  I'm getting older, once I was a young teenager moving 
  Ever so fast,

  Birthday to birthday comes a new number pinned to my 
  Aging soul.

  Grateful am i with a much appreciated thank you and 
  Love of God,

 That he has given me life this long, I hope and pray that 
  One day I'll

  Be forever remembered and once in a while thought of 
  By you.

  I'm getting older, maybe a touch wiser, possibly a 
  Better me,

  I'm getting older, remember who I am, my name is
  Keith.

  I am a mortal man living in this gift layed in my hand.
