Old Man's Face
Why do you stare in amazement?
Look closely-really look
Lines and wrinkles going this way and that
The sad legacy of an old man--you say?
Are those tears of sadness?
Come closer-really come
Lines and wrinkles going this way and that
The falling of a once-stately oak--you say?
Can you peer with reflection?
See clearly-really see
Lines and wrinkles going this way and that
Road maps of glory past and future--you say?
Dare you smile in anticipation?
Live wisely-really live
Lines and wrinkles going this way and that
The etched brilliance of wisdom and beauty--you say?
