SONG OF THE AGES

Like an old man's years
The days are shrinking
As nights grow long and bold
Ready to own their part of the year
That's when memories
Come knocking for me

Down the trembling years
All those lives ago
I see them wide-eyed and fresh
Falling from the sun
Running too fast through life
And reaching the end too soon
Crashing through the moon
And I have lived long enough
To be part of their journey
And too long for my own

Thank you so much, Tracey. I apologise for taking so long to reply but, I've been distracted with health reasons.
I appreciate your comment and I'm pleased to hear there is a "classic" me :)
