Silly thing to do really
The future is still unknown
But thinking of things in the past
I worried my whole life I would
not live to the age of 69.
In my family most did not
Looking backwards a waste of time
I worried would any girl love me
It is nearly fifty years we are together
I thought losing her the end of the world
She died in 2004, 2008, 2002 can't remember names
Ok, so the world has gone on
I worried every day I would lose my job
I have been retired now eight years
The Banks would crash--that's up in the air
That my children would be successful, athletes
More successful ever than me--four point students
College graduates, all star sports stars
My drunken dad would come home and I would challenge him
He ran from my gun and jumped over a fence
I remember thinking put the gun down
Take him with your fist--I would have won
From that time on I have looked forward
Looking backwards is fun but forward is reality
