Excellence Award in the 'The Write Track 2015' competition
“The older the wiser,” that’s what they say.
More days, more lines on their faces,
Stories of when they were young,
When bread only cost 75 cents,
And when milk was only a dime.
How they lived without phones or computers,
Playing kick the can,
Now rocking in their chairs,
Telling me about the way it was.
“The older the wiser,” that’s what they say,
And I think that is the truth.
