old man
i see you there
your fragile body
and your vacant stare
i have an urge
to stop and share
anything i could spare
old man
i see you now
your crooked teeth
and hairy brow
your words are soft
and now allow
an offering somehow
old man
how it so
your past is lost
or did you let go
where is your family
do you know
or are you the last to follow
old man
accept this please
it's not much
but it may ease
any burdens
that can freeze
like an unwanted disease
old man
your smile is gold
no words
need to be told
no reasons
for me to be bold
for one day i will be old.........
