Old man

I was praying for some of you this morning, noted no one has been here in a while and thought I might post. This came to mind:

"Old man look at my life,
I'm a lot like you were.
Old man look at my life,
I'm a lot like you were.

Old man look at my life,
Twenty four
And there's so much more
Live alone in a paradise
That makes me think of two.

Love lost, such a cost,
Give me things that don't get lost.
Like a coin that won't get tossed
Rolling home to you.

Old man take a look at my life
I'm a lot like you
I need someone to love me
the whole day through
Ah, one look in my eyes
and you can tell that's true."

It is at least thirty years since I heard first heard this song. I was about 24 and I thought, "Is he crazy, we are nothing like those old people?!"

Now as I substitute 51 (even though that does not rhyme with 'more') for 24 and sing it, it rings very true. I am alot like an 81 year old. I need someone to love me the whole day through. I need to get things that don't get lost.

I wonder Who could give that to me and give it to those 30 years either side of me? There really are differences and yet much is the same.

If you read this far, first post who guesses the artist gets coffee from me. (No googling though!) Blessings.
