We may grow old in body, but our mind and actions are who we are. Think about that before you act or speak.
I Am a Man By Franklin Price 11/28/2016 I am a man grown old too soon At least in other's eyes Inside I feel a youngster Outside I'm in disguise The hair is gray, well mostly so Skin wrinkled, signs of age No six pack stomach, now rotund Getting up is all the rage I'm fortunate to have my health Get around without a cane No problems here of which to speak If I did I would refrain For physical's what others see How I think is really me How I interact with others Defines the man I want to be Tip my head and say hello To strangers on the street Ask how they are doing To everyone I greet Love my family and my friends Hope they know I'm here for them Will listen if they contact me If in need or on a whim For if I've learned one lesson That serves me well still yet It's to always care for others For what you give is what you get
