auld lang syne

remember...

remember when we were young?
the years just flew by
yet, they draaaagged, too
(we thought we'd never get old
or that Christmas
would ever get here)

remember when we were teenagers?
the years just flew by
we wanted to be adults
(but then responsibilities
made us wish we were
children again)

remember when we became adults?
the years just flew by
we thought we knew it all
(we made our own mistakes
time and time again
would we ever learn?)

remember when we were middle aged?
the years just flew by
they go by faster every year
(i can barely recall childhood
old age is just around the corner
can't the years slow down?)

remember when we became seniors?
the years just flew by
God's been good--i'm still here
(i've earned the right to be crabby
now give me my dang discount
hope He lets me stick around)

A great piece Karla that brooks a frightening and disturbing subject .

We must always try and remain strong and optimistic in the face of adversity .

I wouldn't know what it is to be a teen, a young adult or middleaged, I went right past those three and became a crotchety old guy, so get me my discount you young whipersnapper! Liked this one, Karla, as I always do with u... Peace, Ed & Rufuz
