| How Old Is Old Before my hormones began to run wild Pre-puberty and acne when I was a child Getting older seemed so far away Older was judged by a month or a day As an early teen an older woman went to University As I lived my experiences, and went through puberty Completeing high school, older was married Thirties and ready to be barried Then came my twenties and older appeared to be Forty or older with family Then my forties crept up from behind Old was sixty probably deaf and blind Now at sixty I watch in amazment At that youthful seventy year old that lives in the basement With vigor and health struts up the stairs And seems as though he hasn't a care His only duty, to look in on his ninety year old mother Who lives across from his fifty year old "baby" brother So, how old is old if you're looking to find Ahead of where you are and never behind For someone old is simply older than we And never younger as you can see Patrick Wayne Hollier Copyright 2001 Patrick Hollier |
