A POEM OF JOY IN OLD AGE <br /> <br />A Poem of Joy in Old Age <br />Is a small poem <br />Of a single quiet perception. <br /> <br />The morning light <br />The smile of a small step-grandchild <br />A happy turn of phrase. <br /> <br />A flickering joy <br />The mouthful of a morsel <br />A walk to see trees and sky. <br /> <br />A child no longer young <br />Leaning over with a hug <br />Before yet another good-bye.<br /><br />Shalom Freedman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-poem-of-joy-in-old-age/
