Can youth and age live side by side
Or will our opinions too often collide?
Youth abhors "the good old days"
As grandma remembers her yesterdays
The more things change, they remain the same
We live for love in life's ittle game

The tears we've shed...sorrow and pain
Are no different now...not youth's domain
You think that we can't undertand
When life doesn't go as you had planned
We've been down this road before
Hard to believe...but we know the score

We've lived through war, famine and strife
Learned many lessons throughout our life
That we'd like to share with everyone...
There is nothing new under the sun!
War still rears it's ugly head
Wives and mothers still bury their dead

Some families prosper, their children thrive
Other's work hard just to survive
Man loves woman...woman loves man
'Twas ever thus since time began
Respect each other's point of view
Share with each other the old and new

Life is a minefield to be carefully trod
(Some find it easier to go with God)
Do not dismiss the wisdom of age
Much can be learned from a wise old sage
Uncharted waters can sink many ships
So heed the pearls from Granny' lips
You'll find she's a treasure to have around
She'll guide you home safe and sound
