On The Inside Looking Out

I’ve looked out through these eyes for so long
The things that I have seen
I’ve seen a face that once was young
Get older now it seems
Yes it seems when I look at myself
I can’t believe that I
Have looked at me for over fifty years
I can’t believe my eye
Each day I see more wrinkles and
My hair yes is quite gray
And things I did a few years back
Are much harder so today
I wonder what a few years hench
I’ll say when I look into
And see the toothless bald headed man
That’s there for me to view
