AN OLD MAN CAN BE A POOR MAN/AN OLD MAN CAN BE A RICH MAN <br /> <br />An old man can be a poor man- <br />He can complain of his pains and problems- <br />He can think only of all the powers <br />He no longer has. <br />An old man can be a poor man <br />And remember how he loved once <br />And know he will never love again <br />And feel infinitely sad at life gone. <br /> <br />An old man can be a rich man- <br />He can bless the pleasures life still gives, <br />He can know how to smile, <br />And know how to laugh- <br />He can know how to give to those he cares for, <br />If not of the money he does not have <br />Nor the physical strength no longer his, <br />But of the love and the wisdom and the kindness, <br />He is still blessed with.<br /><br />Shalom Freedman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/an-old-man-can-be-a-poor-man-an-old-man-can-be-a-rich-man/
