Why Does the Old Man Blink?
February 9, 2017
Every night, I sit and think
Why does the old man blink?
His eyes are hard to open
And his lungs can barely breathe
Yesterday, I saw him shrink
Why does the old man blink?
His back is hard to straighten
And his lungs can barely breathe
Today, I watched him whistling
Why does the old man blink?
His lips are hard to move
And his lungs can barely breathe
Now, I see him relinquishing
Why does not the old man blink?
His body has been used
And his lungs can no longer breathe
