Pass the Torch

Pass the torch
  I'm getting burned
Pass the torch
  It's the young un's turn

Pass the torch
  Its flame's sunk low
Pass the torch
  It's time to go...

Hello Gershon ... as old age takes over, the torch becomes too heavy to hold - thank you Gershon - Lindsay

Let the torch burn hot held with love and pride!

We get to that point where we can carry it no more. Tom

Torch becomes a veritable hot potato, it does.

Ha! So many would rather hold on and get burned than admit that it’s time to move on. Nicely said, Gershon!

What is it with people that they hold on so? I think boxers tend to be the worst...

There comes a time when the sage has to hand over the baton to its acolyte. This one shines G.W.!...ab

I love the rhythm of this poem, Gershon. It flows so nicely from the first to the last.

Thanks, Milt. I got in the groove.
