Realization
I have never considered myself to be an old man
Though clues a plenty have been evident along the way
Eyes have dimmed, my gait has slowed but I still do what I can
But reality got my attention, slammed me hard today
When I tipped my hat and smiled at a lady so pretty so young so sweet
And she kindly extended her hand and offered to help me across the street
