Guardian Age

Kurt Philip Behm

The older I get

the lesser the pain

the gentler the words

—a healing refrain

 

The older I get

the sweeter the song

as memory protects

—myself to belong

    'as memory protects
    ā€”myself to belong'..
    this is so true
    loved the wording!
    thanks for sharing Kurt
    helped to coalesce a lot of loose thoughts
    I have been having lately, on a similar theme

    Kurt,

    ā€¦ā€œThe older I get
    the sweeter the songā€ā€¦

    Yes, indeed!

    Thank you for sharing your
    ā€˜golden wordsā€.
