Old Mans Lament

Old Mans Lament

....

As I sit here reminiscing

Of my youth that's gone awry

Regretting not a single moment

Of all the times gone by

....

Learning days of puzzlement

At things to find anew

My mind is filled with visions

Of many things to do

.....

Excitement now is mounting

Each memory is clear

Those wondrous challenges

Faced without regret or fear

Boldly facing each new frontier

.....

Remembering childhood things

And the joy that it brings

Strolling through the meadows

In the early morning spring

Flowers with their petals

peeking out of the green

.....

Sitting at the seaside

The morning sky aglow

Sun dancing on the water

Like pure bands of gold

....

Strolling along the way

With thoughts on my mind

Wondering will I stay

What treasures will I find

.....

Memories of growing pain

But now I can't complain

Looking back with open eyes

The awe of each surpris

.....

Growing so very old now

These are the things I do

This is what I have 

Strangely but so true

....

Life's end comes so swiftly

And the end it does bring

Winding down it seems

Like a coiled up clock spring
