When I Grow Old
Roberto J Moreno

Another night in my bed,
As I lay thinking about my grandfather,
I can�t help it but to think I might come to that title.
How would I be?
Would I often talk to myself out of solace?
As he often states to me.
How would I view the world?
Would I be considered unfashionable and a burden on society?

These thoughts lay in my head as I talked to my grandpa,
Will my words carry wisdom or just a vague reality?
Will I lose track of time and not remember life,
Live in an oasis loop,
Forgetting my past loves and experiences,
My name and the places I�ve seen,
Will I outlive my children and wife?
Will I be fat and bald?
Will the map of life in my face be gracious?
All questions that come to mind when talking to him,
I�m long ways off,
But it�s just a thought,
God knows if I�ll live to 82 and be as well in health as he is,
Will my wife be content and next to me?
My kids satisfied with the life I provided,
I ponder all of this before I go to bed.
The days seem to go by faster now days,
With a blink of an eye,
I might have missed more than a forth night.
