elderly hearts

>//.

learning from the elders

the art of gratitude

of servitude, of living

of life, and a joy 

that runs deep

deeper that deep

 amazing graze

mac n cheese

the  kind hearted chef cooked up
to please.
us all, she gives some to the delivery boy

and human kindness is overwhelming

and when the years turn into decades

and almost a century has passed

and you're old
and fragile and ever so slow 

and visitors are few and far between

then you will know

what it means to be human

she said one day you'll be old

but in here / we take care of each other

we take care of each other

WE TAKE CARE
OF EACH OTHER

and the generation is passing over

that golden generation

you know the kind

the ones

THAT TAKE CARE OF EACH OTHER

god, my heart it feels so full

when I'm with the elders

real people living real lives
with names like Pyliss and Mabel and Winston and Remi
names like June, Marina and Grace
the colours of the rainbow
they only fade,
in the minds eye of some, 

in a world of pomp and fakery

I ask of you,
teach me everything you know

teach how to grow
in wisdom, as well as age
teach me what really matters

while i still have

the illusion of time

tell me- does love really define 

everything u are
