Young And Old

The young man he dreams of a beautiful life Of beautiful children and a beautiful wife And the old man he grieves at the loss of a friend As his own journey through life it is nearing an end So very different to the aged and the ageing it does seem The young and ambitious of great things do dream The young look forward to a long life ahead Whilst the old feel resigned to be soon with the dead The old realize few things in life do last And for their better days they must go to the past Compared to what they were four decades ago Their fastest pace nowadays does seem very slow We've been learning from life before we learned how to crawl And 'tis surely a young person's World after all.
