So simple yet so elegant and true. The "evening of the day" is not literal.......this person telling the story is on in years of their life. "Smiling faces I can can see, but not for me" represents the attitude toward the aged and so forth. But the real clincher is "doing things I used to do, they think are new". this line says it all so simply. Chilhood innocence, once you havelost it you can never get it back.
You nailed it. One of the reasons I try my best to make some time for conversation with the elderly. I always try to avoid the pitfalls of conversation and make a comment to the positive. RJ
