Poet’s Showcase
Today
By Mary Reavis
Because I am old
Must I forget
The eyes of a child,
The song of a bird,
The stars that shine,
Precious memories
That are mine?
Must I not dance
Now that I’m slow
Remember only sorrows I know
Have no song in my heart?
No, I will keep a song in
In my heart
Until the day I depart!
Mary Reavis lives in Lawrence.
