Recollections as time goes by,
A lifetime in the blink of an eye,
Instant replays money can't buy,
Visions remembered till I die.
Memories of life as a child,
Precious youth undefiled,
Happy as son, cousin, grandchild,
Exit this phase totally m(w)ild!
Reminisces as a teen,
Fast-growing string bean,
Discovering the social scene,
And the need for personal hygiene!
Flashbacks of a young adult,
Normal development, not occult,
Maturation always difficult,
Images remembered penult.
As a senior, golden reflection,
Badgered by no introspection,
Events now without imperfection,
All present with affection.
