Come–take my hand, I’ll lead you through optimisms Bright- lit paths– To a world –where every dream, every longing, every yearning, every loving— Turns to subtle thought And life’s simple prose Transforms to lilting poetry!
Then Life is Old When worry nudges with knuckled fists And pockets hang loose with emptiness When desertions, separations, snubs and sneers Form life’s main retinue——————- When life is full of ‘yesterdays’ A roll of musty faded folds——– Entangled in webs of memories, A drab continuous past———– THEN— LIFE IS OLD!
Lift the lid of my life And look within— A different ‘Me’ Awaits you.
