It's pointless wishing

To be young again

When we should know

It's an impossible dream.

Maybe if we'd open

Our eyes and look around

We'd realize being old

Isn't bad as it seems.

Through the years

Our knowledge grows

Like advancing age

Takes dark hair away.

Hopefully things we learn

Will help our children

Prepare themselves for a

Happy life all their days.

Let's hope so anyway.....
