Like The Wind

Old folks and old oaks stand tall in the wind
but I wish I was eighteen again.

 

Beautiful, touching, wise words....

 

They are from, "I wish I was eighteen again."

 

I like that quote, I want to borrow it, for I think I have a place for its use.

 

"Old folks and old oaks stand tall in the wind in the wind." I like this too as I collect good saying. Do you know from whence it came or is it perhaps your own invention?

 

Guess it reminds of Jerry Lee Lewis or maybe George Burns. Nevertheless, wish can all reach for that impossible dream. Wish i was eighteen again too.

 

I love that song by George Burns. I always thought he said, "Old oaks and old folks stand tall in the wind" but in that version he says, "Old oaks and old folks stand tall and pretend." So much for memory, Eh?

 

Generosity is giving more than you can, and pride is taking less than you need.
