Have You Ever Felt So Maudlin

Have you ever felt so maudlin that you were quite close to tears
And your thoughts went racing backwards to your happier youthful years
When with your young friends you socialized and your biggest worries small
But the years went by so quickly aging happens to us all.

Many of those you went to school with the grandparents of today
Whilst some are no longer with us with the deceased their remains lay
All you have left are your good memories of what was and used to be
Of when you were young and healthy full of elan and carefree.

In your prime days in your twenties when your hair was nugget brown
You were never short of female company one of the pin up young men of town
But the years went by too quickly and your brown hair turned to gray
And your biological clock keep ticking such is life as some do say.

Your health is not at all good and you've not been feeling well of late
A weak heart and diabetes are things one don't celebrate
Still you have your happy memories of when you were in your prime
Though you feel a little maudlin when your thoughts go back in time.
