TOO OLD, YOU SAY

Too old you say! Too tired to argue,
I hope I never see that day,
I hope I never lack opinion,
For then I will have passed away.
Who am I? What am I? I don’t care,
I have only one life to live,
And all I want to say I’ll share,
For that’s all I have to give.
Don’t write this old bloke off yet,
I still have much I want to scribe,
And though to some this means regret,
I will always be on the honest side.
For I see a man for what he is:
Not for his posture or his pride.
