Hair Once a mane of black the glory of your manhood Now turning grey Hands Once strong,slim fingers Agile nd very skillfull Now twisted and weak Walking Once with springy step So steady with a purpose Now slow with a cane Vision Once with eagles sight Every thing caught your attention Now glasses aid your eyes Life Once you laughted at death Thought you would live for ever Now death is very real paladin |

Paladin, have you ever noticed that the older we get, younger the older people seem to us? Odd, isn't it? ![]() "Love makes the world go around" |

Once I laughed the Reaper, now he stares and grins. Your style always evokes a thought from the many thought and perspectives you share with us... Thanx Paladin.. |

This is wonderfully written Robert. If only we could figure out a way to stop old age from creeping in and overtaking us. I wouldn't mind getting older if I could just get rid of the aches and pains. ![]() Hugs and a very Happy New Year. Marti |
