Just some random ramblings about youth and aging
but how does it feel to be 76
(his birthday it was).
You'll know when the time comes
he said, and blew out his candle.
When I was 76, I asked my grandson,
well, son how does it feel to be 11
(so many years have passed)
You already know, he said and smiled
as I lit his candle and smiled back.

What Happens before and after
When I was 11, I asked my grandpa,but how does it feel to be 76
(his birthday it was).
You'll know when the time comes
he said, and blew out his candle.
When I was 76, I asked my grandson,
well, son how does it feel to be 11
(so many years have passed)
You already know, he said and smiled
as I lit his candle and smiled back.
