In Old Age/Despair Is Everywhere Poem by Shalom Freedman

In Old Age/Despair Is Everywhere

Rating: 5.0


In old age
Despair is everywhere
Losing and more losing
Going down and down
One's world and one's self-

The friends gone
The illnesses
The abilities no longer possessed-

In old age
Despair is everywhere
And courage more courage
Is required-

Perhaps though
Despair itself is a lack of courage
Down down down
If not yet to the ground
Down down
