Indoors

All day I stayed indoors because I do not like the cold

I must be very cautious  because I am  getting old

I’d rather be inside the house where it is warm and nice

To save myself from falling when the snow turns into ice

I do not like to bundle up, but I really like the snow

But, it’s better to be inside, when there is no place to go

I always will remember, it was some long years ago

There was a terrible snow storm and I had to trample in the snow

Then, to me it was no problem, for I was young and strong

I tried to be precautious so that nothing would go wrong

There was no transportation, on the job I had to stay

Contented to know that I had a job and happy when I got my pay

Today the snow is for the young ones, they can wrestle with the cold

When you begin to struggle, know that you are getting old

The things we did when we were young , they are now in the past

Our lives depend on what we do, that’s how long that we will last
