i'm not that old yet, <br />dont cast me aside... <br />like a shovel with a broken handle, <br />of no use anymore. <br /> <br />i'm not that old yet, <br />the embers still glow. <br />with a little tender care, <br />there's a fire beneath! <br /> <br />i'm not that old yet, <br />my hands still fit the plow. <br />my back is still strong, <br />my eyes still twinkle. <br /> <br />i'm not that old yet, <br />to be forgotten in a chair. <br />i still need a woman, <br />a lover, and a friend! <br /> <br />i'm not that old yet!<br /><br />Eric Cockrell<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/i-m-not-that-old-yet/
