To The Old and the Grey
Folder:
In the beginning "Hello, how are you?" a little girl asked.
"I am worn and wrinkled in both heart and soul
My body fails me as my mind continues to go
My heart skips beats, my knees don't bend
I am the most decrepit sight there has ever been."
"My lips have grown thin,
My eyes have sunk in
My skin is all blotchy,
My elbows all knotchy.
My head is all bare, for I've lost all my hair
And my life seems not at all as fair."
"Oh, my!" said the little girl. "Things aren't that bad!
To me, what you describe, is not all that much sad.
Sure, you have aged, as do we all!
But regardless what you say, to me you stand tall.
I may still be young, but I get a say
Don't be so hard on yourself, you aren't all that grey!"
"Cheer up, silly man! Come, enjoy the day!
And let mother nature do what she may
Remember the good times , don't dwell on the bad
You, at your age, shouldn't be all that sad.
Have a good life, and let come what may,
If this is what happens to the old and the grey!"
