The Way It Goes
When I was young I played all day
I ran and jumped and skipped away
I never realised I might get old
My life was great and I was bold
Happy and free , life was a breeze
I didn’t think about disease
As I grew older so did my joints
They ached and awoke me in the night
I know my youth has slipped on bye
I know it’s not a cause to cry
But sometimes when I look behind
I see that girl and breathe a sigh
An original little ditty by me. ?

Love it scorps!
So true!
a light hearted romp through life I like it
hope we can all look back with fondness
Love it Scorps……. I look back and wished I had appreciated more the time I lived in……..I was happy enough but why did I criticise myself so much…….what I wouldn’t give to look now as I did then…..each decade we should appreciate what we have cos you can be sure we wont have it in the following years….
Good one Scorps
Good one Scorpio

“I never realized I might get old”
I was different, I accepted that I would get old, BUT… I thought it was a long, long time till 0ld age would arrive for me. Life flew by and though the memories of all those years still seam vivid, the amount of time it took to live thm did not seem near as long as I had thought it was going to be,
Time seems to move at a much faster pace when youth is a distant memory aguajohn.
