Youth To Elder

© l.rams (10/4/12) The years are catching up to us Our minds seem to be losing touch No longer do we see or feel What is fake and what is real. They say humanity has five senses Which I tend to disagree Seeing, smelling, hearing, taste and touch. But those are just the outer senses of which they speak What about the inner senses which control you and me. Love, compassion, fear , hate Just a few which they forgot to rate. The list has become so long That in a book it doesn’t belong. Sadness, joy, anger, frustration It’s not even enough for our imagination. All these things with age we’ve come to know And in our souls it began to grow. The soul is the only thing that we can not lose And given a choice- this I’ll choose For when it’s time for us to go to the other side Everything else is left behind. The soul is like a treasure chest It holds all the wealth that you’ve created Of all the feelings known to man So when you get to GODS kingdom You’ll understand. It becomes like a video that you can see Of your every step and memory So Alzheimer’s and dementia stand aside You ‘re in for a long, long ride.
