An Old Man's Eyes

Oh, to have seen through an old man’s eyes When I was young and strong and full of surprise I would have known what to keep, what to let go Lost time is a heavy burden to tow But then again, youth allows us such flair To worry and fret over just what to wear To shine up the car, who could want more Than ten bucks for gas, oh so secure Though wisdom is fine and life is still sweet I wonder a difference , a life more complete For now, to be grateful for all that I’ve learned Is the goal for all of my days unturned
