WHEN you are old and grey and full of sleep,
And nodding by the fire, take down this book,
And slowly read, and dream of the soft look
Your eyes had once, and of their shadows deep;
How many loved your moments of glad grace,
And loved your beauty with love false or true,
But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you,
And loved the sorrows of your changing face;
And bending down beside the glowing bars,
Murmur, a little sadly, how love fled and paced
upon the mountains overhead and hid his face
amid a crowd of stars.

About Me
- Rose
- Bronx, New York, United States
- I've been writing poetry for quite a few years. It helps me keep sane. It is a crazy world, things happen all the time and if you don't release the emotions built up inside you, you can go a little insane. I have three children, their names and ages are: Jenna 22, Candice 20, and Brandon 17. I have a cute little Nephew; Aaron who is now 6. I have a friend who loved my poetry and thought others would love to read it too. Needless to say he talked me into publishing it. Now I am having a blast in writing and getting them published.
