Mind Over Matter Poem by Paul Warren

As you get older it becomes plain
Your mind still thinks you are 21 years old again
For you think you can still run a mile and kick a ball
But your legs just ache and the kicking action means a fall

Fun and excitement is all you have now as stories are told
When having a few refreshments with your mates of old
As we gather around a crackling fire snug and warm
And remembrance and exaggeration is in true form.
