I've Still Got It

Aging from inside this shell I drive,
I see the outside slowly slipping away...
For those youthful expressions I made,
That were quickly on display...
Yesterday it seems.

But gone are those schemes of having things my way.
Yet most of my wishes and dreams have been fulfilled.
And today I feel surprisingly thrilled,
To have done many things in several expressive ways.
With a love that has not diminished one bit!

I've still got it...
Knowing forever it will not stay.
No matter what my outer appearance is...
From me that will eventually fade.
I've 'still' got it to give to dropp hot or not!
