TO THE YOUNG
Never forget
The lines in my face
Are no disgrace
They speak of a place
You haven’t been yet.
And remember too
The gray in my hair
Is a tale of somewhere;
Tales I can share
That might help guide you.
The frequent bend
In each of my knees
Is on someone who sees
The future as eminent
And the past as a friend.
And my sight now is new;
It’s harder for me
To correctly see
What I read in books
But not what people do.
I’ve heard the sounds of time
The joys and the tears
For so oh many years;
I can tell the difference
Between blessings and crimes.
