Went to the mirror
And what did I see?
A funny old man
Lookin’ back at me.
*
I said: “Hey, old man,
What ya doin’ there,
Smilin’ back at me
With your fine grey hair?
*
I know you’ve seen things,
Numerous and rare,
Some you can tell
And some you don’t dare.
*
You may not be young,
You may not be fair,
But you’re old enough that
You just don’t care!”
*
That this won’t be them,
The youth might defend;
Yet deep down inside,
They cannot pretend.
*
If you’re so lucky
To live as long,
You just might write
Your own silly song.
*

Hey Eric,
I loved it. Your a man after my own heart. Write some more poetry, that was great.
Great poem! Love reading your postings.

Such a handsome man… I am so proud of you and what you have accomplished, my friend. You deserve every gorgeous grey hair on your head.
Continued safe travels.
Big hug.
