While out and about at shops and such We see the strength of younger men And wonder, as they walk away How will they look, later then Will their shouders stoop, depleted Their hair be gone, all wispy grey With years decreasing power of limb How will they face each day And are they preparing now Their hearts, their minds for heaven Filling up each day with love To enjoy the other end And thus, we gaze on aged men Reposed, retired, upon a seat Wondering what handsome looks they bore And if they feel complete Their past now tucked away, a mystery The years of fight and grit Achieving such of this and that While they were young and fit But, the heart of man is still the same Inside, he's young, in love Oh Lord, I pray he knows your life So, renewed, he'll walk with You above Soft forever whispers from Derry's Heart Poems © 2008 heartwhispers@iinet.net.au Poetry From The Heart "Visit the morning, before the sun rises and then sets, find the dawn, while it is, before the clouds descend and eyes are dim, be still, with open hand to all above while you have the mind to think upon. Visit the morning,and find the peace of everlasting love."
