Old Songs (for Jimmy)

April 25, 2020
So far The Distance The Atlantic To The Rio Grande So Long The Time We’ve spent Drifting apart

The Arts We’ve slipped Away the years Last Grains To come No chance To turn The Glass Again Until small smiles Renew our Promise for Potential

Songs are to be written By Old Men Yet sung By the Young What gifts might the distance bring As we age and sing with growing wisdom
