ETERNITY
By writerpoet

THIS IS A POEM ABOUT GROWING OLD

                                              ETERNITY

 

I LOOK IN THE MIRROR

WHAT DO I SEE

OH MY DEAR

I DON’T SEE ME

 

MY EYES ARE BLEARY

AND SLIGHTLY ODD

MY HAIR IS STRINGY

OH WHERE IS GOD

 

I SMILE SO SLIGHTLY

OH YES ITS ME

I SEE MORE CLEARLY

SUDDENLY I SEE

 

A LOVELY SMILE

SKIN LIKE DEW

NOW I KNOW

I HAVNT A CLUE

 

AM I LOVELY

A HEART OF GOLD

WHY OH WHY

AM I SUDDENLY COLD

 

NOW IM SIXTEEN

OH SO PRETTY

THE YEARS HAVE GONE

I NEED NO PITY

 

MY BABE IN ARMS

SMILES UP AT ME

SHE LOVES ME
SHE KNOWS ITS ME

TWENTY FIVE AND STILL SO FINE
THE YEARS GO BY
AND MY CHILD IS MINE

FORTY NOW AND LIFE IS GREAT
MY KIDS HAVE FLOWN
AND SO HAS MY MATE

SIXTY TWO AND LOOKING GOOD
LIGHTING THE FIRE
CHOPPING THE WOOD

SEVENTY NOW OH DEAR OH DEAR
MY EYES CANNOT SEE SO CLEAR


NOW IM OLD
WHAT DO  SEE
SUDDENLY CLEARLY
I SEE ME


IV MET MY LOVE
IN A CROWDED BAR
AM I TO OLD
OH NO SAYS HER


SO DONT WORRY
YOUR NEVER TO OLD
TO FIND YOUR ETERNITY
AND A LOVE SO BOLD

Hi, 
 
I like the idea, and I am interested how it occured to you.  
 
Very well expressed and being rather strong, this poem is still sensetive somewhere. 
 
It's a Good verse! 
Nance.
