Now That I'm a Grown Man

- May 23, 2017

As a young kid

I'd looked on the grey head with envy

Wondering what it is to grow old

Courage and authority is the air

That herald their presence

But little do I know

Of the troubles of adulthood

Now that I'm a full grown man

I look with jealousy in my heart

Upon the young sucking baby

Whose heart knows no worry

Whose little strain of tears

Is all its needs to have its belly full

And I wish I am young again

Back on the road that lead to my infant bed

In the cradle where I know no worry

To the back of mother

Where I feel save from the evils of this world
