When I am old I will say what I think
And not worry to be thought a clown or a fool.
When I am old I will borrow from youth
As guiltlessly as a child robs the cookie jar.
When I am old I will throw away fashion
And dress myself solely in comfort as I please.
When I am old I will share anger I feel
Instead of letting it take bites out of my soul.
When I am old I will walk away quickly
From those who’s motives I find to be suspect.
When I am old I will sleep in my chair
And have picnics on my bed if I so choose.
When I am old I will go to the places
That in youth I deemed not appropriate.
When I am old I will will buy stuff that sparkles
Simply because I like shiny things.
When I am old I will sing when I feel it
And not fret that my voice isn’t pretty.
When I am old I will pet everyone’s puppies
And laugh as they lick all over my face.
When I am old I will stop tearing up like a fool
When parade marching bands with their banners go by.
When I am old I will be sprung from this prison
Referred to as rational adult behavior.
When I am old.
Yes, when I am old.
