Living Vicariously Today

The golden is pulling her down the street She is flying behind him, but is still not fast enough. Her feet lightly hit the ground every once in a while. I watch them go, feeling their joy. Wishing I was one of them today. Remembering what being young and thin felt like.

I have given up. I will never ever feel young and thin again. But, I'm going to have a helluva time being an old man! And when I fly away, let them say, "Man, he really enjoyed life!"
