In my mind I’m thinking
Of days so long ago
Filled with so much innocence
And things I did not know
Our lifetime is a journey
Along some unknown track
And while my Grandson’s looking forward
I spend my time looking back
Past days so filled with turmoil
But parent’s love did still abound
But no matter what did happen
Their love I always found
I remember childhood yearnings
And those from my teens
But those who’d come before me
Has showed where they had been
A young man with no direction
Had set out on life’s hard road
But what I did have travelling with me
Was the knowledge Grandpa bestowed
Travelled on throughout my lifetime
Watched the years unfold
Always talking to my children
Hoping they’d hear what had been told
Now it is my Grandson
Who’s on the verge of adulthood
I let my mind start thinking
Is he thinking like he should
Before he starts his journey
It’s time for me to show
That young man who is my Grandson
The best road he should follow
Hear me clear I beg you
Before pain does attack
I know you’re looking forward
But recall I’m looking back
The road stretches out before you
The one that is life’s goal
And if you learn from my experience
The journey will be a stroll
I’ve told you all I can do
Your life is now yours to make
But keep looking back as well as forward
Then you won’t make my mistakes
