Some bodies are so well lived in <br />they look older than their time. <br />Hard living has aged <br />every crease, wrinkle and line. <br />They look much older <br />than they really should. <br />Their expressions is worn out, <br />their laughter thin and bare. <br />The life they’ve lead <br />has taken the toll there. <br />The youth they should have <br />has disappeared without trace, <br />now all everyone sees is hardness, <br />no softness or grace. <br />Many things can cause this aged look upon a face, <br />that’s worn and tired look, long before its time. <br />Some say it is caused by this and that, <br />but no one is really sure. <br />Only that it happens <br />and it could to anyone. <br /> <br />21 June 2008<br /><br />David Harris<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/some-bodies/
