Krinkledeepooh
Krinkledeetee.
I can see you,
Can you see me?
Growing old is not fun,
Especially when wrinkles come.
I move about so carefully,
But hear my bones krinkle in me.
Krinkledeepooh
Krinkledeetee
Till I can't see you,
And you can't see me.
My eyes aren't what they used to be,
I feel I'm losing friends, you see.
Do they remember who I am,
Or are they old too...... Oh man!
Krinkledeepooh
Krinkledeetee
I can see you
Can you see me?
When I was young
I did not worry.
But now I wonder
If I'm getting surley.
Krinkledeepooh
Krinkledeetee
Till I can't see you
And you can't see me.
My skin is dry
And much too white.
Age spots are there
All over and everywhere.
Krinkledeepooh
Krinkledeetee
I can see you
Can you see me?
Seems I'm losing my memories,
I no longer have any worries.
Or maybe it's because
My brain has reason to pause.
Krinkledeepooh
Krinkledeetee
Till I can't see you
And you can't see me.
I ask a lot of questions
And hope answers come by the ton.
No matter what life may bring,
I'll try with all my soul to sing.
Krinkledeepooh
Krinkledeetee
I can see you
Can you see me?
So I say to you
In words so few,
No matter how old I get
I'm so very glad we met.
Krinkledeepooh
Krinkledeetee
Till I can't see you
And you can't see me.

Note: The word Krinkle came from my greatgrandmother. I first heard it when I was very young, not too long before she passed away. I don't know why I thought of it now...... maybe it's because I'm beginning to look somewhat like her. (oh funny me.. age does that, huh!) My greatgrandmother said the word 'krinkledeepooh' and I asked her what it meant. She told me that, to her, it meant a whole lotta wrinkles that feel like the material, crinolyn, and makes noises when it moves. As for the rest of the word..... well, your guess is good as mine.
