Old Timer

John Prophet

Old timer.
Reflecting.
History,
experience.
Around
the block
then back
again.
Many times.
Seasoned.
Learnerd.
Veteran
of human
existence.
Worldview
molded.
Tempered
under
fire.
Years
in the
making.
Hammer,
chiseled.
Hardened.
Battle
hardened.
Seen
much.
Stepping
aside,
bemused.
Watching
the play.
Few
surprises
as the
young
scape
their knees.
Muddle
through.

    I got the feeling here, he’s seen it all before. Not much he hasn’t witnessed. Let the young find out for themselves. They’ll learn soon enough. Happy Tuesday John.

      Hi Cassie,
      So true. Wisdom seems to be a thing that can’t be passed on. Each to their own trials and tribulations.
      Thanks for reading.
