Array ( [sid] => 30175 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => OLD MAN [time] => 2003-12-26 02:39:14 [hometext] => [bodytext] => You are old
You have grown old without love
Tears have fallen from your sad eyes
You try not to cry
But the hole inside shows your pain
Your old hands never been held
Because you have never held on long enough
And no one cares anymore
What do you do now old man
Time for you is ending
Your eyes have no sparkle
Your hands have no feeling
Your heart has no love
Why Old Man did you give up on life
On me
My hands were like yours
Empty
I am young, Old Man
I will survive
I have opened my eyes
People listen to my cries
Because I care for people
For I know, Old Man
Not caring
Not reaching out
Not loving
Will leave me old without love
Like you.

OLD MAN

Contributed by springfield on Friday, 26th December 2003 @ 02:39:14 AM in AEST
Topic: EmotionalPoetry

You are old
You have grown old without love
Tears have fallen from your sad eyes
You try not to cry
But the hole inside shows your pain
Your old hands never been held
Because you have never held on long enough
And no one cares anymore
What do you do now old man
Time for you is ending
Your eyes have no sparkle
Your hands have no feeling
Your heart has no love
Why Old Man did you give up on life
On me
My hands were like yours
Empty
I am young, Old Man
I will survive
I have opened my eyes
People listen to my cries
Because I care for people
For I know, Old Man
Not caring
Not reaching out
Not loving
Will leave me old without love
Like you.

Your poem was really sad. Alot of truths found in it. I like the outlook on life I read in your words.
You did a great job on this one, I really enjoyed reading it.
