I find that I’m more nostalgic these days,

And wonder if it’s simply part of getting older?

Or is it a sign of the times?

With evil getting bolder,

And committing further crimes?

I find myself feeling ever more grateful,

For each moment idling hours ‘way with fam’ly:

The one that I got to help create;

And, for now, sit happily,

Before it becomes too late,

And we rise and disperse unto fate.
