Saw an Old Man Today...
Saw an old man today. The wrinkles on his face showcased, The lifetime of wisdom and misery he possessed. He had to use a stick to walk because, At this stage, even his knees could talk. It was evident that he was having a hard time, and, It’s reason was there, just in time. It was his grandchild, not even eleven at that time. The look on his face reflected how much he despised, To walk at a pace so slow, that an entire rainforest could grow, by the time they were near block 9. It struck me just at that time, For the child, the old man wasn’t even worth a dime. But there was another side of it, yet to be explored, Some great stuff, yet to be exposed. It was after a while when the child tripped on a mine. The old man ran, sped up his pace, One should’ve definitely looked the expression on his face. He was scared to death with the tiniest scratch on his grandchild. He quickly cleaned the little wound and made sure everything was fine. The child could not realise the care he got at that time, Perhaps too juvenile he was or had something else up in his mind. Maybe he won’t understand it now, but he will one day in his lifetime.
The old man might not live till then, but his essence will glorify his spirit at all times....
