Look Past What Meets the EYE

Charles Stokes

I am old and gnarled with age

I am the poignant letter

I am the survivor of many wars

I fought and won the battles, but-

I can no longer can carry freedoms torch

I am frail and jaded with time

I am you and you are me

What is it that you would have me do?

I am yesterday, you are today,

Who is tomorrow?

What is it that we should do?

Yes, Look Past What Meets the EYE
