Age Is Experience

Age 

Age is experience that’s what they say things were much different back in my day.
You lived through the good and sometimes the bad, there was never enough time to be sad.
We had very little and it’s a sad fact, we had family and friends secured with a pact.
We had little money but never complained we didn’t moan or whinge and say we were pained.
Age is experience that’s what they say, as a matter of fact you’ll be my age one day. 
So be a good person, be kind and polite to others your not on your own with sisters and brothers.

"There was never enough time to be sad". I do think the extra time is not helping the world be happy so very much. Great job Stephen.

This is one of my favourite Poems, I think it emphasises the divide between older and younger people. And shows how the older generation view life.
