Reflections: Young and Old

Hopping on the bus

Running down the aisles

Chasing crazy dreams

Walking many miles

Seeing all the sights

Stopping by for tea

Shopping trips for gifts

Patience is the key

Marathons and hikes

Fast food and iced pop

Late nights and fun times

Never a full stop

Soaking in hot pools

Dinners served at five

Yawning starts quickly

Morning soon arrives

Impulsive and free

No cares of money

Laughing and yelling

Loving their honey

Observant and slow

Fearful of many

Smiling and silent

Watching each penny

Alive with bright life

Not trapped in a cage

Daring and brilliant

Wishing for more age

Reflective and wise

Most ready to leave

Daunting and pensive

Advice up their sleeve

Only beginning

With time on their side

So much to live for

And love as their guide

Only advancing

Eternity waits

So much to leave for

Their love at the gate
