My Happiness Title

My brain power has surely diminished Since reaching this ripe old age Used to be sharp as a tack back then During my mind's early stage Where'd they go, the years have just flown Yesterday, I was young and eager Today, all my happy dreams have come true But I'm still a knowledge seeker Can never get enough of this great big world With it's magic and secrets untold Our brains can hold so much new knowledge Experiencing the future unfold Sadly we eventually must all say goodbye To the world and our friends so vital Okay that's enough of these negative whoohaas It's contrary to my happiness title © Jack Ellison 2015

Not so sad when you realize it's only a separation for a little while... We're all only a drop in the bucket of time... But can have fun... fun... fun... til we all get together again! After all, we need a few good stories to tell them!

Good that the tone of your poem bounced back from gloomy to cheery dearie at the end! Don't do that again, I'll have your neck if you decide to "say goodbye"! :D
