The Downhill Side of Fifty

The downhill side of Fifty,
I thought I’d never see it.
But when the weathers damp and cold
I sure as hell can feel it.

The downhill side of fifty.
Not yet the “golden years”.
Not young or old, just in between,
With vision not too clear.

The downhill side of fifty,
What can you do about it?
Too late to start all over,
But still too soon to quit.
