The Old Man

He's grown old And doesn't quite know why He feels pain when he walks He's no longer spry He feels pain from his reckless youth But he'd do it all again Thats the truth His mind reels with memmories unwanted By things he's done And by which he's haunted But there are some memmories that still bring a smile Like when he saw his wife walk down that aisle She was dressed like a jewel,Face all aglow That memory alone brings a spark of youth head to toe The young look curiously as he just sits and grins remembering good times, craziness,and sins Little do they know that they'll be there too No matter how immortal you think you are Time catches up with you
