Oh, when I was young
The sweetness on my tongue
The songs that were sung
Are no longer found among

Left bitter-sweet
That taste I would treat
Moments of cheer
Was found everywhere

Oh, when I was young
When my songs were sung
Brought music to my ears
Happiness and tears

Dreams were in reach
The future was near
Put in drive
Nothing to fear

Oh, when I was young
Wedding bells were rung
Words that we say
Never went our way

No one could stop
Rising to the top
Looking down
I saw no one around

Oh, when I was young
Those I counted among
Friends I held so dear
Seem to disappear

Now that I’m old and gray
The days just slip away
One cannot depend
Waiting for the end

Oh, when I was young
Life was short
That death would follow
Too much to swallow

Now that it’s near
It becomes very clear
Youth only”procrasted”
While youth lasted

“Rejoice young man during your childhood
and let your heart be pleasant during the days of your
manhood. Follow the impulses of your heart and desires of your eyes.
Knowing that God will bring judgement for all these things
Remove grief and anger from your heart
put away pain from your body
because childhood and the prime of your life
Are fleeting
Ecclesiastes 11:9-10
