Refuting <br />D.R Geraint Jones” Let me not see old age” <br /> <br />God grant that I live to my centenary. <br />When I was young and strong I thought I knew <br /> everything that would be of use to me. <br />Indulged myself as youth is wont to do <br />I took my simple pleasures casually, <br />but slow advancing age has forced me to <br />consider my future path most seriously <br />I recognise some things which I must do. <br />I must greet each day optimistically <br />Although I know that they may be very few <br />There is so much I want to say and see. <br />Every day I discover something new. <br />Although I lack youthful agility <br />I still retain mental ability. <br /> <br />19-Aug-07<br /><br />ivor or ivor.e hogg<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/old-age-is-a-pecious-gift/
