The Old Man

By: Abe Sierra Jr.

​

​

You might see just an old man

      but he’s much more than that:

An unwritten memoir

      each wrinkle and gray hair, a chapter…

 

 

He’s lived a thousand lives

and viewed the world through a million lenses

 

Led battalions to victory

but lost skirmishes in the battlefield of love

 

Been a hero and a villain

it’s just a matter of who you ask

 

He's marched a million jarring journeys

and lived a thousand lives

​

 

You see just an old man

      but he’s so much more than that:

A book waiting to be re-opened

      each crease and silver hair, a chapter...
