    Secrets Of An Old Man
    As I walked by the seashore
    My thoughts took me back to along time ago
    When I was young and full of energy
    And I allowed my thoughts to flow
    If only I could be there
    When life was new and bright
    To live it all over again
    Would be an old man's delight
    How time swiftly passes by
    Too many irons in the fire
    If I could do it all over again
    Would be my heart's desire
    As I came to reality
    I would never get that chance
    My dreams and thought's were clearly
    To me a dream of chance

    Hi! I like your poem, maybe we have some things in common being in the same generation, we love to look back because we have travelled a lot in this life so we have filed a lot of memories as well. Hope you read my verses too...

    Hello, and welcome to this site. I enjoyed your poem. We do have a tendancy to look back and wonder, but then reality sets in. (or does it?) TS

    Poetry comes nearer to vital truth than history.
