[hometext] => We start off young,but end up old, Respect our elders always told, how sad it is when youth has gone, and old we're left to carry on
[bodytext] => I sit here old and grey, delicate,so cold, my muscles ache People walking past with smiles that they fake, I'm looked at by the younger ones,who see me not atall Because I'm now frail and bent helpless and small I know I look half the person compared when young countless days where we laughed drank and sung But even I had my days of youthfilled fun Worries and fears of which I had none I did that too, yes like you there, wild carefree, now wouldnt dare Climbed trees and mountains,took many a hike, Cycled miles upon trusty ole bike I too laughed at the old, watched them sat in the cold Giggled at their wrinkly skin, not giving thought to that within Never giving a thought that one day I'd be The image I laughed at,but didn't really see Never gave thought of the sacrifice they made Fighting for freedom,left.... dying no aid Took them for granted,ignored them aswell when they stopped to chat of tales past they'd tell Now my turn to just be ignored, how lonely if feels no where to hide feeling scared and empty .....now turned the tide Is this how they felt,when we giggled at them too? How cold and shallow, disgraceful thing to do My time has come,my youth now long gone All I can do is sit and watch on I wish I had thought more about who they'd once been Instead of just laughing at what I had seen..................

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
