Strive to be cognizant, growing old - <br />There are so many fine things to do, <br />Traveling and pursuing a hobby, <br />and materialistic things need not be new. <br /> <br />There is healing in open wounds, <br />Old experiences an illusory hold. <br />Why may not you as well as these, <br />remain memorable, growing old?<br /><br />Joseph T. Renaldi<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/growing-old-32/
