Traits that time long forgot
A true mirror image
Senryu


I was inspired to write this poem after being in a charming little house with glass door knobs. The house was filled with so much character that is no longer seen much these days.
I met a guy named George today,
Quite a character was he.
97 years old,
And still full of glee!
He came into the room singing,
Every song mentioned he did know.
Verse by verse he’d sing them out,
He really stole the show!
Our Dance Team came prepared,
Joy and happiness to bring.
Yet it was we who were blessed,
As we listened to George sing.
George showed forth a true joy,
That only faith in God can bring,
As he smiled and encouraged all,
To just open up and sing!
