I need        to get back

    to that feeling        before.

The one        at the time

    that my parents        ignored.

The same one        in my own son

    which I now        abhor.

And what        be the difference,

    but an age        by three score?

So what        of that difference,

    but Mind        and not more?

For Feeling,        as Mental,

    the body,        feels sore.

Memory,        still felt;

   with Time        keeping score.
