The Lessons We Could Learn

Legs in little ole lady shoes
May once have danced at the Birth of the Blues
Or climbed a mountain top to plant a flag or two
Or be involved somewhere in the history of you.

...The little ole chunky man
With hair that is gray and getting thinner
May have once been a chef
That prepared your favorite dinner.

The oldster with the body that is now bent
May be a veteran of a war
Who served his countries with honors
Wherever he was sent.

The ones whose eyes are now dim
Were once bright and clear
And the ears now turning toward deafness
Once hear things loud and clear.

We all have things to learn from each other
If we take the time to listen with our heart
And realize that each story and each life is precious-
Aye, that is the important part!
Thena
