Notes About The Poem

When You Are Old Poetry Contest

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

When I Am Old

It is not a matter of when at all
for I am in my old age, the young-old
stage, in a couple of years middle-old.
My memory still intact to recall.

My life stories from when I was born to
date: thrilling or scary, funny or sad,
wonderful or painful and some I had
causing thoughts of what do I need to do.

There were many times, He delivered me
from nearly death states and dangers that leads
me to prayer of thanks, to do good deeds
while I await His calling, plan for me.
