The Old Man

I met an old man by the road, Shakingly yet sturdy strode. Shimmery crown adorned his head The wrinkled skin ran across embed. 'I am blessed', he said. ' Many are gone', deep laid. Those eyes brimmed a thousand tales, Which await the strenuous sails. His smile made my heart glad, The past glories in full clad. Barefoot he plod; the cold doesn't kill As he mount the steep hill. The blurry cloud descended. As I turn back and headed To the path of fresh trail, A dint of the old man behold the dale.
