FOR A CERTAIN BELOVED GENTLEMAN, by MARGARET E. BRUNER First Line: Although the world may think of you as old Last Line: Will surely dwell in peace through all his days. Subject(s): Aging; Maturity | |||
Although the world may think of you as old, Within your heart bright youth will ever dwell; For often to eager listeners you told The stories that all children love so well. Even at early morn they came to you. And evening too; you joined them in each game; As soon as one young generation grew Matured in years, a group more youthful came. And so these friends of yours will always keep A memory of you, generous and kind; For you are bound to them by ties more deep Than those of blood: an understanding mind. . . . For who loves birds and flowers and children's ways, Will surely dwell in peace through all his days. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...GRATITUDE TO OLD TEACHERS by ROBERT BLY BROTHER AND SISTER by MARY ANN EVANS TO A WOMAN by KENNETH SLADE ALLING FIVE LITTLE WANDERINGS: 4.
