Almost 61 years old,
I lived in many places and had many lives.
Old man looking back at me in the mirror today.
I whispered,
too old to die young.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Once I knew the energy of youth,
once I told death,
not today.
Today I see my father's face, my father's eyes.
I learn the hard lessons, like him.
Now I know his lessons and I pray,
he had found some peace and salvation.
My old eyes are tire and I write some words,
old dad, I am too old to die young.

Maybe we suppose to see with different eyes after traveling forever,
our world, chaos and craziness.
Grandfather told the grandchildren.
Slow down, listen and have some fun.
You will become old one day and you will wish,
you loved more, you danced more and you laughed more.
Yesterday man whispered, I am too old to die young.

too old to die young! wonderful expression but young yeah, young on the lap of juvenile poem cannot die................
A profound and reflective poem on life, from youth to aging, which is a the normal course of all human beings like us. To everything there is a season, a time to be born and a time to die, as the Bible says. Yet during that period of living we all must breathe with purpose and not just age without reason and wait for death. You are here for a reason, and once you find that out - life will be precious to you - every second of it.
NO AGE TO DIE I AM NEARING 80 GUYS MUCH YOUNGER TO ME DIE EVERY DAY NO GOD KEEPS WATCH ONLY LOVE URSELF HAVE AND EAT WELL DON'T UNNECESSARILY SAVE WHAT FOR BUT WALK A MILE A DAY KEEP FIT INDIGESTION YOU WILL SUFFER NOT ANYONE ELSE NOR ME
