Now That I Am Old

Wednesday 9th March 2022 12:11 pm

Now that I am old

I wish that I could talk to them again

just one more time

and take the time to listen

Now that I am old

I wish I could ask them

about their lives

and write down their stories

Now that I am old

I wish I could sit down with them

and for once listen

knowing now all they said was true

Now that I am old

I wish I could just

hold their hands

and beg for their forgiveness.

I know how this feels.. I'm old too but my nephews are young. I sometimes wonder what will become of me I've made so many mistakes. 😓
