In the Final Scheme of Things

Just a mood i'm in today, nothing permanent

My interest is waning
In what you ask
In everything I’m afraid
The enthusiasm of youth
Is being replaced with the apathy
Of middle age
I just want to know, I once screamed aloud
I don’t care what, I just want to know
Now I ask tentatively, will I care
Do I really need to know
How vital is it in the final scheme of things
Oh my God, I’ve traded my exclamation mark
For a yawn, in lower case no less
Now comes the real question, you know
Just how important is it to me
in the final scheme of things

This really is good, Sue. I especially like the metaphors: how apropos of aging. Praise the Lord, we discover an awesome life beyond, making this one more interesting again. ~~Bonnie Q

Ah yes. Middle-age apathy. Middle-age spread. Middle-age tooth decay. Ugh. That's why I'll always be ... 39. (Wait a minute ... that's middle-age?)Thanks, Sue!
