G/day Matt,
The years have been turning a few too many pages for me mate.
Another well written and thought out poem Matt, I really enjoyed the read.

Goodonya Matt.
I must admit I do ask why or how.

For an experiment, I asked a young boy if he thought that it was possible that I had once been a little boy just like him...he said " No " :lol:

I like to remind young people that I was once what they are, they have never been what I am.
I know about being young, they don't know yet about being old.
