1996
There are ways of having
Birthdays
And not getting any
Older.
Tell me your
Secret. |
There are girls who
Only change with the seasons
And not the
Years.
Tell me your
Secret. |
You bought a book
On ageing
Gracefully
You
Could have written
That book.
Tell me your
Secret.
|
It's very hard to acquire the
Wisdom
And not also receive
Scars from the
Weathering of the
Years.
Tell me your
Secret.
|
You have retained your
Childlike freshness
From your past
And you have not been
Touched
By the bitterness
Endemic in our
Generation.
Tell me your
Secret.
|
You came relatively recently into a
Love
And you have made it
Grow.
Tell me your
Secret.
And tell me,
Dear Karen,
How
I got so
Lucky?
|
Love Forever,
Doug
