Far north of this coastal countryside near Warrnambool
In the early fifties to the early sixties this is going back in time
Long before i reached my life's physical prime
Does it matter now if i was not any good at Hurling or Gaelic Football
Or at Soccer was not of any use at all
Sportswise i was never good at anything
And even local fame to the Parish i never did bring
Does it matter now if to show i do not have a degree
At the age i am now this would not be of much use to me
Except in my moments of questioning my self worth which gives rise to self doubt
I would have something to others for to brag about
Does it matter now if in the past
That i was one of those who could not run fast
The now is all that does matter as the wise one did say
And all i wish for is to be reasonably happy today
It does not matter now as i am getting old
That my life story will never be told
I just want to live on for as long as i can
And die without pain as a very old man
