Constantinos Grigoriadis Poet ABC

An Old Man Thoughts

"I would like the people to always remember me
beautiful and young.
With a strong body and nice skin.
I would like the people to remember me
fresh and active.
Like a sporty teenager with rich shiny hair.
I would like to stop the time
at the best moment of my life.
But now it is too late.
I am an old man.
The price for all that
I wished to have had was hard.
I had to die young..."

Panagiota Romios January 24, 2019 at 6:54 PM Hello from the USA, You may be surprised! )) I love a man who is now 77~ yet I still see him as 30! His soul overwhelms me. I truly am joyful he is still alive, happy and a wonderful man. He's he has aged for sure. But it's his heart that counts.
