I much prefer your poetic nature, Jones.
.
Got this one for my birthday last month. I like it.
.
Don't grow too old for memories
And fun things you use to do,
Don't give up your dreams because
You feel they won't come true.
.
Don't forget the sound of laughter,
Or the love in someone's eyes,
Don't trade memories for pleasures,
All that in a moment dies.
.
Don't give up your zest for living,
Saying you are much too old,
Is this what you feel, or is it
Something that you've been told?
.
There's a valley deep within us,
Where there is eternal Spring,
Where there is no sound of sorrow,
And the birds forever sing.
.
Though your gait in not as steady,
Now as once it used to be,
And your vision's clouding over
Things you used to clearly see.
.
Don't let the weight of decades,
Turn you into bitter gall,
For with age there comes a wisdom,
That's a blessing to us all.
.
Hold your years up like a banner,
Wave it brightly in the sun,
When folks tell you life is over,
Tell them it's just begun.
.
Loneliness can never touch you,
If you don't allow it to,
And in sharing love with others,
They will give it back to you.
