Old Jim

 The hair on his balding head is silver grey
Old Jim is a man who has little to say
When asked what life for him was like in his prime
His answer this is going back quite a long time
I am much slower and frailer now than i was then
Like all of the town's older women and men
Divorced by his wife ten years ago 
Old Jim says that time it has become his foe
Their marriage it lasted a forty five years time span
She will live out her life with a far younger man
A great grandfather far better days of in life he surely of has known
In his red brick two bedroom unit he lives on his own
Old Jim says we should learn as we live and this not a lie
From life every day until the day we do die.
