1019

Forty five years! Can it be that long

Since we moved into Camden Town?

What happened to those days we don't recall,

Amidst the glories of the ups and downs

Which jump into our minds, but seem to miss

So much that has happened in between?

The children grew up; but am I remiss

In thinking that - for all the gaps - we seem

To be the same? You haven't changed at all

And if my hair is thinner, should I fuss?

Is it really so strange if the pall

Of age falls on the others, not on us?

            Let's go on forever, until the day

            The trumpet sounds - for then we can't say nay.
