.. I want to be content.
“There’s an old man sitting next to me, Making love to his tonic and gin.”
There’s a boatload of dreams in my head. Visions of what could be. Great and powerful deeds, fame and fortune.
But if I get to an age where I’m pretty much “old”, then I’d like Contentment to be one of my defining character traits.
When I no longer have the strength of body to attempt wrestling my kids or grandkids. When my eyes fade and make reading harder than all get-out. When my youthful good looks (ha ha) become masterful lines of wisdom.
More, when I have to face the idea that I won’t be able to achieve the Dreams that are still Dreams ..
.. Then I want to be content.

Ah, Billy Joel. A master of Lyrics. I am still confused about how it ties in with your comments……..but knowing you….I have to think outside the box!
Listen young padawan, and learn.
Old man. Old. Driven to drink. Discontentment and regret the marks of his current state.
Outside the box, heh heh.
