Old man so young <br />Old tricks, new belt, old bag o’ nails <br />New shoes, same feet, now going flat <br />To me, a young man, so full of heart <br />An old man full of himself, just hisself <br /> <br />Old man so young <br />Old skin, new cells, old bag o’ bones <br />New hat, same eyes, now needing sight <br />To me, a young hero, rising from scarring fights <br />A rich man full of himself, just hisself <br /> <br />Old man so young <br />Old voice, new teeth, old bag o’ sand <br />New hip, same dance, soul in his veins <br />To me, a young baron, whose time will long reign <br />An epic full of himself, just hisself <br /> <br />030108<br /><br />Sylvi Sylva<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/old-man-so-young/
