Notes About The Poem

" ILLUMINED MIND " MY PHOTO,©

Getting Older Vii

Getting older 

may be a rewarding experience 

for 

those who the Lord, desperately, 

seek to find

since

with old age the haze of carnal desires 

dissipates
 
thus

letting the spiritual light illumine 

the mind!

Tom Cunningham January 24, 2020 at 10:16 AM From the day we're born our knowledge increases until we reach hopefully, a ripe old age, which enables us to see things much clearer. Enjoy your weekend. Tom Demetrios Trifiatis January 24, 2020 at 10:24 AM My friend, Tom, if only that were true for everybody! Things are more complicated! It is not automatic. Getting information is one thing, getting knowledge, another! Have a blessed weekend ! Thank you so much!
