...Said Mr. Claus to the Junior Astronaut

Why don't I stop being old?
Because I've owned it.
Because I've earned it.
Being young was something I learned
Making mistakes.  I survived the consequences.
I even outlived the consequences
and then I outlived my desire for them.
People don't stop being old.
They get better at it.
