~ For All
The Males ~
This is for all the boys
The ones who are fourteen
Now noticing all the girls
And with them making the scene.
Going to all the dances
Trying to steal a kiss
Slow dancing with someone
special
Childish pranks they now
dismiss.
This is for all the young men
The ones who are twenty-one
So much is in store for all of
them
Their lives have just begun.
Planning out their future
Settling down and taking a wife
Buying a house and having
children
So much to do in their lives.
This is for the middle-aged men
The ones who are forty-five
Their children are now on their
own
Struggling to get by.
Still working to pay off the
mortgage
Their children stay in touch
Still asking Dad to help them
out
Doing it because they mean so
much.
This is for all the senior men
The ones who are eighty-seven
They seem to be wasting away
Just waiting to go to Heaven.
Their spouses have passed away
They're sad and all alone
No one to hug or comfort them
They're living in a nursing
home.
Their children visit
occasionally
They think their lives are
complete
But they don't seem to
understand
It's his life they're about to
repeat.
