Say it Paul
"Your'e 45."
Middle Aged.
In the middle of this age.
In this age you are # incorporated.
A collection of memories and experiences.
You are laughter, warmth and passion.
A bit wiser, just a smidgen.
You are pain, anger and passion.
A bit dumber, just a smidgen.
You are accomplished yet nearly not begun,
Nearly not done.
He wants you here
Which is why you are still here.
You are still Paul, still amazed by a cloud
Still his son.
Be still Paul and keep collecting memories
Of family Ancestors gone
Friends and lovers
That will never leave your heart.
With them you are never quite lonely, yet quite alone.
Your'e 45 Paul.
A bit wiser, a bit dumber.
Mother's baby, Father's pride.
The Sun is up.
Shadows by the ocean's tide.
The day has begun.
The day is here.
Live it before its all done.
