When I was young, my bells were rung

For impossible adventures

It’s not the same, no bells proclaim

When you’re sixty-six with dentures.

But I don’t really care at all

For I have you and you’re my all


A subtler sound the years have found

I hear it in my heart

The things we’ve done, the love, the fun

Set all old dreams apart

Regret? I feel there’s nothing dafter

For I have you and I hear laughter.

They clasp...

Naïve?

That childhood dream despite the care

And hard frustrations that have rained...
