Poetry: Growing old

by Josh Andrews

Created on: March 10, 2010   Last Updated: March 11, 2010

In fifty years we will be nothing more than a mass of wrinkled weathered skin and fragile bones

Our memories and stories of this time in our lives will be so skewed and warped by time

It won't really matter what we did because nostalgia will make it into the greatest time of our lives

Far past youth, our legacy will remain in what we physically created, not the fish stories we tell our friends

At that point in time the only people that will matter are those with unwavering loyalty and direct blood relations

The face on the pillow next to you will be your only constant companion

If you can look over at them and tell them with your eyes that even after all these year you still love them, that is fulfillment.
