Twenty years ago, <br /> I was getting older, <br /> Twenty years from now, <br /> I hope I'm getting younger. <br /> I can hope... <br /> because the price is right! <br /> <br /> Twenty miles down the road, <br /> I will be Twenty miles ahead, <br /> at least Twenty more away... <br /> - - - maybe Twenty dollars richer, <br /> - - - maybe Twenty dollars poorer! <br /> <br /> Twenty pounds ago, <br /> I had Twenty different reasons, <br /> and the Twenty different seasons, <br /> gave me Twenty new excuses, <br /> but, I used Twenty - One! <br /> <br /> I bought the Twenty greatest hits, <br /> and none of them hit hard enough, <br />... perhaps the Twenty extra miles, <br />... perhaps the Twenty extra minutes, <br />... maybe the Twenty other people, <br />... will take that Twenty million Dollars from me, <br />... If I should ever get it... <br />... The '20 ' that I need to see..., <br />... are not the 20 that I need with me, <br /> - - - but, I believe, that there may be... <br /> 20,000 friends that I have never seen, <br />... that might see me! <br />... Believe me when I say that I get... <br />... The Twenty thousand friends I've never met!<br /><br />Barry Van Allen<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/20-3/
