Never in my wildest dreams

When thinking way back when

See a date far in the future

When my age was three score ten.

 

I remember how I felt

When I was young and fit

Dashing round my world

Or running down the pit.

 

I recall when I was young

It was hard to comprehend

A time with aches and pains

When arms and knees don’t bend

 

When a weekly walk to Billinge

And back was all the rage

I’m now out of breath just standing

‘Cos that’s what comes with age.

 

Though sometimes I may stumble

And others I may fall

I still have my lovely family

To help me when I call.
