The Years as Wheels

When the chaff of life is burned
And the new year
Has arrived here
When the wheel of time is turned

My car will turn forty and I will turn fifty
I am at one with my car
And I find that quite as meaningful as thrifty
No matter how old we are

One Chrysler born in 1965
And one Lance born in 1954
On New Year's Eve the last day
Of December
My car was born the fourth day
Of September
In another world a long time ago
One we remember not the one we know

We two are fortunate to be alive
Known living better than the unknown dead
Together all these years as even more
Wait down the turning road which rolls ahead

For one twoscore and one twoscore and ten
The years as wheels turn round to roll again
