Alone, in a whispering home.
A release of thought, and emotion is felt.
What worth do we have in one another’s’ hearts?
No dreams do you live within.
It is when I’m awake that you appear, and so I wonder how you earned this position.
Don’t you know that you’ve set me aflame?
It is only the limitations of life, and the thoughts of restraint that keep me away.
But is that how youth is?
It is only the thought of your dissatisfaction which keeps me here.
Is that what youth is for?
Do these thoughts reach? Do you resist when you feel them?
Is it hard to not see me? Or is it as easy as sleeping in the nighttime?

National Senior Citizens Day (April 21)
We are fortunate to live in a time when so many of our elderly are living lives of unexpected health and financial security, but such was not always the case. Throughout history old age was not something an individual expected to reach, and so we lost the wisdom and experience of these individuals at an early age. Senior Citizen Day celebrates the fact that these keepers of wisdom are staying with us longer each year, and in better health.
