Times' Leaps and Bounds

AS TIME MARCHES ON every older person without a doubt has a spark of youth that screams to get out. too old to dance all night without a care or risk doing damage you can never repair. too young to feel I’ve grown any more wise too old to have few things come as surprise. your hair thins, time affects your physique the aging process is not for the weak. when the beauty of youth that you have known is replaced with something all of it’s own. Who ever said you’re as young as you feel? those numbers on paper look pretty darn real. never stop laughing cause you’re growing old ‘grumpy’ makes you age faster I’m told. old enough to realize that time passes fast young enough to still dream, dreams of the past. although my life song is partially sung I’ll never forget what it’s like to be young.
