Who knew that angry young man?
The world to him was crazy
The world was bad
He could make changes happen
That angry young man
.
Who knew the committed family man?
Protecting what was his
Loving the responsibility
Sharing a lifestyle
That gentle caring family man
.
Who knew the work-weary man?
Energy spent on a lifetime
Money spent too
Shared his wisdom
That tired, half-fulfilled young man
.
Who knew the content old man?
No time left to make change
Accepted the role of the angry young man
Seeing the mistakes
Understanding the problems
That sun-warmed and contented old man
.
You’ll see, the day arrives when it’s too late for anger
Too late for those family plans
Much too later for future-building
Too late to mourn life’s mistakes
That time to watch others with their challenged ideals
