Too old to die young…
Too old to die young—-
I am 66 years old,
lived in many places and had many lives.
Old man looking back at me in the mirror.
I whispered.
Too old to die young.
———————————————————————————————–
Once I knew the energy of youth,
once I told death,
not today.
Today I see my father’s face, my father’s eyes.
I learn the hard lessons, like him.
Now I know his lessons and I pray,
he had found some peace and salvation.
My old eyes are tire and I write some words,
old dad, I am too old to die young.
———————————————————————————————————-
Maybe we suppose to see with different eyes after traveling forever,
our world, chaos and craziness.
Grandfather told the grandchildren.
Slow down, listen and have some fun.
You will become old one day and you will wish,
you loved more, you danced more and you laughed more.
Yesterday man whispered, I am too old to die young.

I have one granddaughter, she’s down in TN. I almost never see her, she’ll be 2 soon. Just pictures & videos on the phone. My only son is in the 101st Airborne, stationed at Ft Campbell, KY. I might get down there for the holidays but I would prefer them to come here for the white Christmas.
Greetings from equally chilly WNY.

No, we can’t stop growing older. & it is better than the alternative. Too many of my friends, in fact most of my friends, are already dead.

My grandchildren keep me young. They give me reasons to go forward. Good evening from chilly Michigan. Finally the days of Fall had appeared.
