Am I in the Twilight Zone?
What is this spector I see?
When lately I look in the mirror
I view my father instead of me!

How could this be happening
So disconcertingly so?
When did the generation gap close?
How could I become so soon old?

Is this a sad trick of time--
Illusion of perception?
Is it a hoax to rob me of youth
Into a cold deadly deception?

My Father died years ago
One time to me he seemed strong,
But with the present phenomenon
I wonder how long before I'm gone?

Am I in the Twilight Zone
Or having "a bad hair day"?
Will I recover a less aged self--
Will I wake up and find it's now day??????

Dear David; I know this creepy moment all too well....it's like yesterday we were young and poof..it's gone. My regret is that i didn't appreciate the gift of youth as much as I would have liked...ah, but I know you, my friend, and your heart is as young as Springtime....so what else matters??? Hugs, from your young at heart sister...

A friend hears the song in my heart, and sings it to me when my memory fails.
