Old eyes, I realize
You've seen so much wonder;
Old hands, I understand
You've done so much good;
You're not useless or forgotten;
I am here to listen -
So hold my hand and look at me,
Tell me your stories.
Old mind, it's hard to find
One as wise as yours;
Old heart, I'd hate to part
With one that beats so true;
But in this moment, this dear moment
You and I are here;
Loving and living,
Telling our stories.
Old man, you're kinder than
Any I have known;
Old friend, let's just pretend
I'm your grandchild;
We may not meet again,
But it will be all right;
Right here, right now,
We're living our story.
