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
