In my long life I have had no regrets
And looking back I only see the good,
The good that has been with me forever.
The lady in my life so loving,
Who I loved throughout.
Even though she has left this world,
That love is still there,
And she is still with me.
My working life has ended,
Ended with no regrets.
So in my dotage I now realise
That I have become an old man,
But I have become an old man in good time,
Because I know that I will become
An old man for a long time,
And enjoy every moment in that extended life.

Maybe you only look old - no haircuts yet, etc?
I must go annoy more folk then....!
I am going back to my 1970s hairstyle.
And the bell-bottom trousers?
