Poem Title:
Poem
An Elderly. Introduction tells you, Who shall you believe? Listen sometimes to your senses your sadness or your joy. If you are downhearted you cannot perceive any happiness or joy you will feel stepped on. Temptation tells you, Who shall you believe? Even if you open up a pathway, can you reinforce your legs to take a stride without your cane? Can you become independent mount Up the stairs? Can you open your Door pay homage to your unfurnished Home? unable to set up due to your age? Or will you act as in a theater playing the characterization of a tough actor capable of running after its shadow? Happiness shares, Who shall you believe? Your happiness tells you rotect your image as if its still young. Fly with your spirit like a butterfly, venture through the clear skies. Intercept your freedom as long as its lasts. Rejuvenate your thoughts to reserve a seat in your positive will power where you are your own master. Weaknesses orders, Who shall you believe? when you slept young and woke up old. Why tolerate that body transformation, why presume you are still young when definitely you are old. Strength begs me, Who shall you believe? Why are you shivering before waking up? Because you woke up old, you know it means You are a looser. Gather your strength to face your reality, deny wanting the impossible to happen? Seek, look, understand, seek, look, feel the truth, if not, your fate today will wither. Sorrowful prays, Who shall you believe? Your sadness orders you Remain downhearted as you cannot perceive Happiness. Your friendly thoughts indicates you to look far And open the entrance, where the philosophers Meeting is taking place, enter and impose your knowledge, dictate your long lived teaching, allow yourself listen to the echo Clapping at the end of your speech. Courage is the truth,this is who you should believe the you of the now. This is accepting all of the above, when I will come out from that Door proud of my cane. Nothing is impossible when I remain hungry to want to live. No matter how old or young, I am. Therese Bacha 17 November 2013
