Hello? Is Jack there?
Speaking...who is calling please?
I am Jack too, with something important to share.
Really? Your name is Jack and you have something to say to me?
Jack, I know all about your life
All your troubles and all your strife,
I know what happens in your head,
What you enjoy and what you dread .
How can you know all these things?
Only I know who I really am.
How I deal with what life brings,
And whether I fall or stand .
Jack, I know all you have done and said
Because I am you 25 years ahead.
I was there ,I heard those voices
And I am the result of each of those choices.
You are me? How can it be?
Almost too hard to believe.
Yes I am you, a more seasoned you
With more than just a pointer or two.
Well thanks for calling
I appreciate that,
Now about my life
Let's chat!
