Our Younger Years

My life slowly passes before my eyes As time for me draws slowly to a close I see us in our younger years with sighs, I wore lederhosen, you wore nylon hose. written July 7, 2021

Ah, not you, Terry. But she did...nylon hose, and lederhosen are German britches youngsters sometimes wear.

Hello Milton … My younger years I often reflect on. They were very different but great times. Thanks for reviving them Milton - Lindsay
