As You Get Older

Listen to poem:
You start to look through another pair of glasses If you lacked any experience, life has offered you classes You learn from your past failures and successes You've become wiser while your heart has grown restless What entertained you before, now irritates you somehow Things that made you laugh, you shake your head at now You now see the pitiful state of each generation You're no longer too busy to enjoy God's creation The questions you asked in the past are now asked of you Youngsters are now coming to you asking what to do Different ones are coming to you for loving advice Helping them not make the same mistakes twice As you get older it seem to benefit you and others When it comes to experience its like you play the mother
