the old man on public bench


The old man sits on the public bench
With large specs he watches the young play
Over the lake he sees couples and families
Laughing and smiling in social gathering

He wonders why the time leave him
In the life once he had with it
Now with wrinkles on his face
Bald headed and wondering in his days

He munches his peanuts
Though he is glad he has his strong teeth
Listening to the noises of the young at play
Grandpa come play with us!”

He waves at his grand children
I am happy here with my peanuts”
He listens to the breezes whispering in his ears
You have your chances so enjoy your life”
