A man grown hoary,
wrinkled, stooped and slow
The trials of those
days makes wisdom grow,
And that is something
we should surely gain.
Stand up when in the
presence of such souls;
He's earned esteem
surviving all these years.
Through toil and trials each man has strived
for goals
Regardless of the
sweat, the blood, the tears.
Take care to listen in
his company;
Have patience if his
speech should ramble on
And hold your tongue if
you should disagree
For he deserves respect
before he's gone.
Revere the old as you revere the Lord;
The love you give is soon its own reward.
~~~~~~~~~~~
"Stand up in the presence of the aged,
show respect for the elderly
and revere your God. I am the LORD."
Leviticus 19:32
