You are young, and I am older;
    You are hopeful, I am not—
Enjoy life, ere it grow colder—
    Pluck the roses ere they rot.

Teach your beau to heed the lay—
    That sunshine soon is lost in shade—
That now’s as good as any day—
    To take thee, Rosa, ere she fade.

Just a note to say how much I appreciate you!

Don't feel down, your friends will lift you back up

oh how I have missed
the ticking
and the tocking
