Yes, there are many, many things that i can do -
now that i've attained that age of respected 'maturity'
now that my graying brows are showing beneath the graying hair -
telling the world that i've attained that covetted 'Age of Respect'...
and speaking to young teachers embarking on a long life of helping others -
i feel the respect due as they look upon my graying hair and graying brows...
For when one has attained that age of being close to 60 -
one is expected to be (and no doubt should be) 'older and wiser'...
and if others don't listen when one is 20 or 30 - they'll listen now -
when one is graying at the temples - at 58, coming on to 60...
and if one lonely shrill voice was not heard at 25 or 35 - it will be now -
now that that one voice is backed by thousands of maturing young 'fans'...
So, i'll do what i can, for as long as i can - and spread this legacy:
the feeling of joy when loving others before oneself, and giving unreservedly...
