This is nice poetry. The approaching age is always something that makes us wistful. Life passing by and younger years having gone past can make you feel downcast. The many things that occupy one's mind is brought out in the poetry. This is very true for people in their 40's with children, their jobs, their past years, watching their children grow and looking forward to their 50's and 70's as age approaches. Going over to McDonald's with the kids, playing Tetris, and surviving disaster movies and marriages is another fete. The poetry makes us realize how our daily lives are so much about us and how we are no longer kids.
