*** Growing
Old ***
by 'Barry R. Long'
Just when was it that I
started growing old ?
I'm sure it was only yesterday I was
young and bold
yet here I am as I look at myself in the
mirror
with wrinkles and hair loss and diminishing demur
on
the inside I still feel so young at heart
even if my body tells
me it's starting to fall apart
I used to hold my son in my two
hands
now he's all grown up and six feet he stands
next will
come the title, you know the one
the one you get when your son
has his own son
then it's official, and there's no turning
back
grandparents are old, that's just a matter of
fact
although young and bold was just yesterday
being old
tomorrow is reality for me today
