Today I thought of a beatles song

When Im sixty four

 

Today you should have been that age

but you wont get there anymore

 

I wonder if my dad would have needed you

if he had not died before

I wonder if you would still be as young

If you made sixty four

 

Today I used to send you flowers

Be the oldest but loving son

today I took the time to write

that I still love you mum.
