Can your emotions change with age?
Can an old heart turn a new page?
Can a heart who has seen too much,
and has even lived in a hutch;
can he be recharged by a smile,
and think of it on distant isles?

An old man who looked at his life,
quite alone now, without a wife.
He lived his days, one for the next,
in front of a monitor; vexed.
A simmering bright light has come,
among ashes he found a plumb.

Though his attachment's far away,
She can make him smile every day.

The answers to the questions in the first stanza are yes, of course... and the smile is to be cherished.
