Old He's older than anyone I've ever met before And if he's human, like the rest, he will live no more He is wisdom, he is memory, he is all that was When he dies and leaves us all (I do not know the cause) All that he has ever seen, felt and heard and loved Will go with him into the earth, for there he will be shoved This is why we need to hear what he has to say We need to listen to his stories every single day For when the stories come to #life, and they are told again He will also live, in them, and he will feel no more pain - listen to your elders!
