Another year, more time gone
Another chapter filed away
I grow older, I see it in my face
I feel it in my bones
But I don't "feel" older
Memories from the past
Seem like yesterday
I still see them, vivid in my mind
I can recall, knowing I can't go back
Excitement, the joy, the pain
The wonder of new things
Where has the joy gone?
Nothing excites me
Joy is a rare thing
I'm indifferent to the pain
I have become numb
Is it because I'm older & cynical
And no longer young & hopeful
Has time jaded me, made me uncaring
Or just make me realize that at some point the wonder stops
