I Cannot Help Being So Old As I Am Poem by Shalom Freedman
I Cannot Help Being So Old As I Am
I cannot help being so old as I am
And feeling so lonely and lost
Missing so much so much of the time
Feeling too much of my world has gone
People I respected and even admired
Friends family so many so much
And I cannot go back
And nothing can be done
And so whatever conversation or meeting I have
Whatever opportunity to be with others
I should try to go with open mind and heart
Hoping and hopefully- even if pretending
That I am still a part of the world.

You are still a part of the world and foerever even your fossil we will bury on this earth. You have friends all over the world on PH even a clown in Africa Zimbabwe. The poem is good the message of loneliness bad the mood sad makes me mad. Lol...just rhyming. Cheer up bard
Deeply poignant and touching. The hope within us will keep the torch burning. Beautifully conveyed and crafted.
