Life's a Joy

The young want to be older The old want to be younger There's a blessing to each age Life's a joy at every stage If the grass is greener on the other side You won't be happy 'til you've died So focus on the here and now The future's not given anyhow

Very true Gershon, we all want to be grown ups when we're young, shame we can't go back. But yes every day is a joy that we should make the most of whatever age we are.

That's right. Just take it as it comes. "Chillax, Dad," as my youngest son tells me. Cheers, Gershon
