    Growing Old

    Growing Old
    Daylight dances across the mantel in reds, greens, and gold.
    The flowers growing there look so beautiful, I must be growing old.
    My cat used to warm his self in that little spot of sun.
    But now he is gone forever more, the victim of my neighbors gun.
    And deep inside I feel the pain of another empty space.
    That leaves only loneliness and sadness in its place.
    Surely, I have grown old.

    Sad and melancholy and tragic for your cat and you.

    Loose yourself of the mantra "growing old" !

    who am I but a stitch in time
    what if I were to bare my soul
    would you see me origami
