Scaredy Cat
Has it hit you in the gut yet?
You know, that feeling you get
In the pit of your stomach
When you think
Of something scary,
Like your own ending?
Five or ten years,
No big deal
When I was just a kitten.
Now, five or ten years, wow,
Not sure I have them.
Dropping like flies,
Too many already gone.
How can I stop this,
This time whizzing by?
Slow down please,
Let me catch up.
