Tears nearly dropped when I saw an old man in church today. He wanted to give his offering to the Lord but he couldn’t stand up because of his age.
At that point, my heart revolved around what it would have been thirty or forty years ago when his muscles still had all the strength to enable his every move. It was then i decided to talk about age today.
Well, it is no news that old age comes with certain things like wrinkles, hearing loss, weak muscles, etc. These things, when spoken of, make many scare and fret at the thought of growing old to an age where there decline in action is paramount.
Old age is a beautiful thing to behold and I’d like us to talk about it on Daily Wisdom Words Music Prompt today.

Grandma’s Hands
(Bill Withers Inspired)
Skin like
Creased paper,
Folded and flattened
Back out,
Gripped tight
My small,
Unworn hand.
I wondered how
Your hands got
So coarse.
And how they
Could make me
Feel so safe.
Again. This is sweet. I love the structure. Well punctuated.
