Let Me Not See Old Age

God grant that I not live to my centenary
When I was young & strong I thought
I knew everything that would be of use to me
Indulged myself as youth is wont to do
I took my simple pleasures casually
But slow advancing age has forced me to
Consider my future path most seriously.
-- D.R.Geraint Jones
