Editor, Commonwealth:
I love that old Roy Clark song, “Yesterday, When I Was Young.”
Goodbye, long-gone Sweet 16. Oh, what I’d give to be forever young, but that’s a wish and a dream.
How fast the birthdays rush on by, especially after the Big 50. Gray hair will come your way sooner than later. Hello, mirror on the wall. Mirrors don’t lie.
Oh, my aching back and cramps in my legs. What’s that you say? Hearing loss in left ear. False teeth in a cup. Diabetes may come your way. Medicine bottles all in a line.
Hair loss, wrinkles in face, psoriasis, cancer. No one stays young forever.
