In the mist of time..
I walk slower and I talk less. The sun will rise again and I will count the stars again. I know now. In the mist of time. We will make mistakes and we will regret many things. We will wish we visit the family more often and we were kinder.
Life is like, the free wind. Touch our skin and we cannot slow her down. The echoes of old voices, we will miss and our children will become men and women. We cannot stop time.
We will know too many goodbyes and not enough hellos. One day, on the narrow road, the lonely path. I will tell the forest, the flowing river. Almost time for me to join the kind people who taught me how to live. Thank you for the sunny days, good friends and sweet women.
Today with five grandchildren at my feet. I tell the morning sun. One more day my friend. I ain’t done yet.

My mother’s best friend wrote “Sexy Eyes”, which although *I believe it was first released by Dr. Hook, Tom Jones made it a global hit.

This entire thing is beautiful. The song is… different. The music style at the start reminds me of the Beatles, and he sounds soulful and almost like a country-gospel mix. Your poem made me cry (it was beautiful and it just got me)

The great Tom Jones getting older. His song. Sharing a lifetime of things, he wished he could fix and he cannot. Thank you for reading and the comment.

I know he is. I’m grateful that I will soon be able to see him in concert (for the first time), and I will be going to New Orleans (the first time since I was very young, second time total) with my father to do it. It’s just a fact that all of us, even the city, are getting older.

Wow. You are very lucky. He is 82 years old. A legend. I loved his music for 50 years.

He is truly one of the greats. He is the same age (slightly younger) than my Aunt. I hope everything works out so that I can see him. I’ve loved his music since I was very, very young. The Rat Pack, him, Elvis… so many…I cannot wait!
