I think the older you get the more interesting the perception of the world. This poem sums it up very well. Life is an exiting rollercoaster and as you age your perceptions about everything change. Loved it Milly x

It's amazing how much clarity we get as we get older. You did a wonderful write expressing this.

Patrick I really enjoyed this piece.
As the others said when we get older our perceptions change because we are no longer that innocent child and it reminds me of a quote.. 'i would rather have skinned knees than a broken heart' or something of the sort.
I will come fly with you as anywhere would be better than here with the way things are at the moment in society.
Job well done, Em

Fellow survivor, we have lived through a great many roller coaster rides indeed. We may be in a unique position, having lived through the complacency of the old guard, the revolution of our own generation and the resulting shift in the entire social order that resulted.

Perhaps the age of the innocent has not so much gone away but is slumbering in the next few generations who cannot conceive of what was gone through to get us here.

I love your voice in this write it has so much gusto and force
:)

Great writing Patrick!
