Alone With His Memories

Alone with his memories He sits and wonders all alone, thinking where has his life gone, not fun being old. Had many friends with whom he sat drinking boasting of love many secrets were told Some who like himself can no longer walk Need someone to push him when they have time To sit on this bench, reminisce their thought a wheelchair replaces these legs of mine I wonder what is going through his mind The laughter of friendship, honest and true Putting the world to right, helped them unwind A Penny for your thoughts, please share them, do So raise those eyes, look to the skies above Smile at your friends, who are watching with love

Yet in my old age, I still feel blessed, in great fitness and still get lots of stares. God has blessed with great looks and a wonderful sense of modesty. I love your poem. Eleven out of seven!

Aging has a way of stealing away our self-worth . . . our society pushing us to the side and asking -- what value proposition do you bring -- your old and weak! Bodies rebelling against our desires . . . but yet your are correct . . . we must look up . . . nicely done Seren, 7

a beautiful but sad write - shame people are so busy with their lives and don't take time out to talk with people especially the elderly - they have so must knowledge to impart and many stories to tell. good luck with the contest Seren :-) Hugs Jan xx 7 xx
