Memories Last Longer Than Candy

 

Memories Last Longer Than Candy

  

When I'm out with younger ones

I feel my age especially

when I talk of things I've done,

they speak of sights they'll see.

But after they come home

from every new journey

then what they'll really own

are just memories like me.
