Old Man Young Friend

Old Man Young Friend

To help this old man you've been a friend.
You have been near to lend me your ear.
Tell you of the past how things did not last.
When years pass by it changes you and I.

What I once could do I now ask it of you.
Watch you do things I do in my dreams.
Gets harder each day do things my way.
Having you to talk helps lessen my pain.

I listening to you talk about what you do.
You play games on TV and play with ease.
Before the television I played real games.
With my toy truck or riding my bicycle.

Were not computers when I was a boy.
We made games.from our imagination.
Drawing or coloring was a favorite game.
With our game cards, like the Old Maid.

All these games made me use my mind.
To make me think more about the times.
I was in good health because I was active.
Jumping and running kept me well in fact.
