Spring is almost here
Fall reflects itself in my mirror
The crows feet upon my face
Have left their dubious trace
Spring is drawing near
The fever to roam familiar
The crows feet mark a warning
Not many days left will be dawning
Spring, when it comes each year
Brings reminders of youth
And lack of fear
The crows feet get deeper
Reminders that a good life is cheaper
Than one lived on the edge
Always teetering on a ledge
