“The Old Man”

“The Old Man”

cji
7/6/12

Sitting by the hour alone
reclusive without seeing
none to join him or sit near
he was clean and neat
a smile lingering within
sharing sunlight with all
sometimes to feed squirrels
and little notes to make;

Most others now mistake
thinking him to in perils
yet refusing him to call
not realizing the veil thin
all heavens at his feet
his communications clear
at peace with his being
for him the Son did atone;

Communications whisper
cherished friends near
loved ones guarding him
once who was so strong; 

and to none did any wrong
his memories not to dim
the old man with eyes clear
of whom angels whisper!
