Too Deep For Me

 I am an old guy with young thoughts.

Seems I have a yen to do something

Beyond the old drab that I'm stuck in.

 

When do we ever grow up

And lose the thoughts we had

When we were 21.

 

I guess we have to think 

Maybe we failed somehow,

And that's what's haunting us now.

I'm always young at heart in my young frame, yet I'm an old lady. Friends won't believe me and I threaten to show them my ID. They say,"No, don't show me! I just want to remember you the way you are!"

I'm one month shy of 65, and personally I hope I never grow up. That no matter how old i get, I will never lose the kid that's inside me.

No failure, George, just the art of staying young at heart. Keep at it.
