How old is too old
To have purpose
In the world?
This old heart
Still has a passion;
A wisdom I am told,
Experience in living
A willingness to share,
Encouragement for a heart;
A kind, listening ear.
How old is too old
To offer my hand
And care?
A dimmer light
Still burns.

I love the last two lines - as well as 'A wisdom, I am told', as if you doubt this. The slight ambiguity is touching and sensitive.
