Description:
A music friend of mine Jere, who lives in California, sent me some lyrics and asked me if I would like to turn in a poem, which I did, he is playing his wonderful music in the background. Do Hope u enjoy. A poem about how the older generation are sometimes treated. A bit of a tearjerker, so have the hankies at the ready.Lyrics:
THAT OLDER GENERATIONBy Doreen Yates and Jere Van Loan June 2007 That older generation, are always in the way Most don’t hear what you have to say They drive on the inside lane so very slow Oh dear me, they say I’ve forgotten where to go Using walkers and canes, to help them get about Drive you insane, because they always shout In supermarkets, they hold up the queues Cause that new brand leaves them confused It's hard to believe they were young and fun Heroes and lovers beneath the golden sun Full of dreams of things they want to be Hope, wonder, and insane jealousy Wit and wisdom can be their friends But some are plain stupid till the very end Souls of children in bodies grown up Grey hair and wrinkles fall into their cup Cracked and bent, some just set aside To rust like toys and left outside When in plain and simple truth They are more alive than any youth So show you care to those elder saints Who gave us breath and taught us to paint For if it was not for them showing us the way We would not be on Planet Earth today |
