When an Old Man Gets
to Thinking

When an old man gets to think
ing of the years he's tra-
veled through;
He hears again the laughter Of
the ones he knew;
He isn't counting money and he
isn't planning schemes;
He's at home with friendly
people in the shadow of
his dreams.
When he's lived through all life's
|, trials and his sun is in the
west;
When he's tasted all life's pleas-
ures and knows which ones
were best;
Then his mind is, stored with
riches not Of silver and Of
gold,
But Of happy smiling faces and
the JOY he could not hold.
Could we see what he IL seeing
as he is dreaming ii his
chair,
We should find no scene of
struggle in the distance over
there,
As he counts his memory
treasures we should see some
shady lane,
Where he's walking with his
sweetheart young. and arm
in arm again.
We. should meet with friendly
people, simple. tender folks
and kind.
That had once been glad to love
him in his dreams we should
find,
All the many little beauties that
enrich the lives Of men,
That the eyes of youth scarce
notice and the poets seldom
pen.
Age will tell you that the
memory IS the treasure home
Of men,
Gold and fleeting fame may
vanish but life's riches
never can,
For the little home, of laughter
and the voice of every friend,
And the joy of real contentment
linger with u 70 the end.
