old people
grow wise
all that ROT?
if you do get enough wisdom
what exactly does it get you in the end?
That old expression haunts
‘Youth is wasted on the young’
know the truth of it
now that we are old…
Youth is once
No one tells us
We learned on our own
those wasted years
borrowed time
understand the past
You weren’t ready
school of hard knocks
preached to you
We thought they didn’t know
so damned smart
our ways in our youth
we eventually grew up…
We had to
listen to a list that long
understood what
‘Youth comes, but once?’
we used to be
so long ago…
walked away…
crazy old fool
goanna happen to them
I didn’t think I’d ever grow old
Someday, you will look in that bathroom mirror
Take a deep breath
We’re not getting any younger
We are both off the hook
For the time being…
