Will you still need me...?

When I get older, losing my hair,

Many years from now

Will you still be sending me a Valentine?

Birthday greetings, bottle of wine?

If I'd been out til quarter til 3

Would you lock the door?

Will you still need me?  Will you still feed me?

When I'm 64?

Ok...so today is my 63rd birthday and I can't get over

the fact that when this Beatles song came out in 1967

I thought that being 64 would find me in a rocking

chair with white hair and arthritus. Ok... so I was close.

But as I enter my 64th year I got to spend

a little time with 2 of my 3 kids having

a real conversation, getting some insights

into their lives and sharing a laugh.

And yes...I think they'll still need me,

probably still feed me...when I'm 64.

(Been waiting 46 years to say that.)
