Getting Old Poem by Tom Billsborough
Getting Old
So many names redundant,
Dead or gone way.
I'll start a new address-book
Deleting yesterday.
And yet we need reminders
Of those whom once we knew.
Many are but gravestones
The rest are now too few.
names had been crossed out, probably over 80%.
I think this is a difficult aspect of aging and living...the loss of people you once loved. Living is not for the faint of heart. I also think that memory is a precious gift...and while we don't want to live in the past, and lose our present, we never want to lost those memories either.
