When I'm old and wrinkly
in the future someday
will someone write me a poem
Saying how wonderful I look today

I might stare back with
a toothless grin
But I still deserve a word or two
To help a new day begin

Your tender words
And loving thoughts
Is enough to keep me going
Ahh …those words to help me through
To begin my day again..
