Growing Old

Growing old is a natural part of life. Just because you’re getting old, doesn’t mea you have to grow up, but people should mature.

Growing old does not scare me. I have always been “growing old”, but I haven’t really been growing up. I do hate shaving though, so that part of growing old I hate.

I don’t embrace growing old or fight it; I’m indifferent to growing older. I know one day I’ll get old and die, and that day is coming. However I don’t want it to be too soon. It’s just like Kenny Chesney’s song, every body wonna go to heaven.

Preacher told me last Sunday mornin’
Son, you better start livin’ right.
Gotta stop the wisky and women,
And caryin’ on all night.
Don’t you want to hear him call your name?
When you’re standing at the pearly gates?
I told the preacher,
Yes sir I do,
But I hope he don’t mind the wait.
I ain’t ready!

Every body wonna go to heaven,
Have a mantion up above the clouds.
Every body wonna go to heaven,
But nobody wonna go now.
