I sit at night and ponderOf things past and nowWondering how I’ve achievedAll that I possessThe memories of days gone byAre fading the older I getMemories of recent daysAre all that I can conjure upWhat will I rememberWhen I am old and grayWill I lose it allBe considered an old geezerAge is defying they sayBut what does it defyGravity it does notBut rather gives in afterBut a brief struggle in timeTime is the thoughtTime is the wonder of it allHow much of it do I have left?2000, Written October 19th, 2001 © on Oct 19 2001 01:38 AM PST   10 • 0 • 12
