I am old, you are not

I am old, you are not

 

 

 

In the beginning I was young,

now I am old.

 

Looking at you I see who I was so long ago,

you have dreams that will come true.

 

You have dragons to chase and knights who rescue you from your tower,

or you can rescue the ones in a tower.

 

I have a cup of tea/coffee,

and memories to satisfy my dreams,

as I grow old.

 

I see when you move a strand of hair from your face,

and tuck it behind your ear,

 

How you curl your lip when you’re in deep thought,

and butterfly kisses with your lashes,

when you don’t even try.

 

So much to learn,

so much to remember.

You are only as old as you feel. Besides you are not old! Good poem though =)
