An old soul......



An old soul.....

It used to be fun when everyone was around,
Now is the time when everything has turned around.

Living long was once a boon n a blessing,
But now it's no more than any suffering.

Ageing eyes cannot see, ageing ears cannot hear,
Each passing day feels like a year.

Seeing one's kids from cradle to grave,
My old heart is no longer that brave.

Please take me away cries my aching heart,
Listen to me my Almighty, it's time for me to depart....
