We Grow Old To Be Young Again

 

We Grow Old To Be Young Again

We grow old

To be young again.

In between,

We journey the seas

Of our lives

And engulf some water.

Some are clear

But not necessarily clean.

Others are not so clear

But by accident

We swallowed them.

At times,

We have to cross many bridges

To cross more bridges.

Then we will meet

A branching road

And we have to choose

Only one

Which hopefully

Will lead us to see

Our horizon

Before our sundown.

Then we start

Walking

With someone holding us;

Feeding ourselves

With someone holding our spoons

Till we fall asleep.
