Limited Immortality

the older we are
the more invisible by far
we seem to the younger mind
but soon they will see
what’s known by you and me
we’re only immortal for a limited time

I remember back when I thought 35 was ancient. Now I am 65 years old and see that ANCIENT WAS 30 YEARS AGO... This gem in its brevity hits hard. A great creation my friend.. A fav too...
