Some Folks Mature But Others Just Get Old
Some Folks Mature But Others Just Get Old
By Elton Camp
Many old people will mellow a lot
Not as quick with anger to get hot
And offence is not as quickly taken
Know others often are only mistaken
What matters most they come to see
From hurtful words they try to flee
But others only give in more to rage
Get more hateful with passing age
Relatives they delight to order around
On their face you always see a frown
What you do is viewed with suspicion
By one with a cranky, crabby disposition
“It’s just because they are old,” some say
But when young they were the same way
To treat them well, we certainly should try
But they make it hard to do without a sigh
