When I served my mission in PA, I remember asking an older member what his aspiration were when he was my age, and assuring myself I'd never be like him. I don't recall his answer, but I do remember coming to the realization that I was being a jerk.
lyrics
I asked my dad just what he’d want to be
When he grew up, what were his hopes and dreams
To find out, just what got in the way
I’d make a vow to not be like him someday
He said
I never gave up on my dreams just found a different one
Are we gracious with our age or are we desperate to hold on
The best part about getting old confounds you when you’re young
Holding you is exactly what I need
Sarah Said
You might be a dad someday
To this boy, it felt like graduation day
The nurse she came
She checked your lungs and then she weighed you
Took your blood and then she bathed you
Then I bless and then I named you
You see
I never gave up on my dreams just found a different one
Are we gracious with our age or we desperate to hold on
The best part about getting old confounds you when you’re young
Holding you is exactly what I need
