Old Man on A Stool That old man, sitting on his stool Daily watching kids go by, on their way to school He always looks the same to me, he never looks displeased He’s calm, collected, and fulfilled, proud of what’s achieved The wrinkles on his skin so creased, show labour and life’s pain The smile that’s sealed across his face, shows what he had to gain Sometimes his eyes stare far and deep, maybe living life again Just as one could watch a show, or travel through by train Old man what are your thoughts today, what do your eyes now see Is it too much change today, or your own life lived through me What is it that you feel today, what lessons can you teach Or are we too proud to learn from you, are we too hard to reach Sit on old man sit on your stool, and wave to times gone by Watch and laugh at what we do, and where and how and why But keep your calm and show us all, through silence so serene That we should take life as it comes, ‘cause life is just a dream © November 2000 - Michelax |

I've always wondered what some of my elders are thinking as they watch the younger ones.. I'm sure their thoughts are quite wistful and longing...but always matured with the experience of life...very nice writing... welcome to Passions.....ethome |

Elders watch, remember, and through example, show... thank you. Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?... I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound. KRJ |
