The Ageing Years

The Ageing Years

By Paul Mc Cann

Grandma said the other day ,

Doesn’t life just slip away

In her voice so soft and sweet

And her tears drops touched my feet

As she wiped her tears away

I could hear her softly say

Its so sad when you feel young at heart

But look so old and grey .

The ageing years keep calling

But on deaf ears they fall

I’ve danced the veils of ageing years

And await the curtain call .

I held my Grandma’s hand

And tried to make her understand

That I loved her downside picture

 of what life had meant to her .

As she kissed me on the cheek

I could feel my knees go weak

Her old feeble hands were shaking,

once again she tried to speak .

The ageing years keep calling

But on deaf ears they fall

I’ve danced the veils of ageing years

And await the curtain call .
