I cannot deny it

 

 

it is there

I cannot deny it

but if I should try

 

I am

reminded by the stormy sea

it's angry waves reaching out to absorb me

 

It is there

I cannot deny it

but if I should try

 

I am

reminded by the blinding sun

it's scorching heat reaching down to absorb me

 

oh no

I cry

I am still a boy stomping in puddles

 

but is there

I cannot deny it

but if I should try

 

I am

reminded by the blowing wind

it's awesome power threatening to absorb me

 

oh no

I cry

I am still sixteen and on a date

 

but it is there

I cannot deny it

but if I should try

 

I am

reminded by the rain

it's silvery touch wanting to absord me

 

oh no

I cry

I am young and have a wife

 

but it is there

I cannot deny it

but if I try

 

I am

reminded by my aging body

it's aches and pains trying to absorb me

 

oh no

I cry

I am still needed by those that love me

 

but it is there

I cannot deny it
