Analysis of I Grow



I grow old and no longer bold
I am happy to be alive
I ache and sometimes quake
I am happy to be alive
I forget and have much regret
I am happy to be alive
I walk but have no energy to talk
I am happy to be alive
I am late because I hesitate
I am happy to be alive
I will die but do not cry
I am happy to be alive
