Old man of 17

How many years have you lived the dream
Have you yet found that there's no escape
Living this out till your final day

Old man of 21

Set to retire with all you have done
All that is left is the spinning of wheels
Days by the pool, drowning your deals

Old man of 45

When did you pass the prime of your life
Too little too late finding it out
Not knowing then though knowing it now

Old man of 64

You know in your heart, there's something more
You've left it behind but still have the need

Old man of 17
