Getting Older

The leaves
grow thicker,
The years
grow longer,

The rivers
run faster,
your wisdom
grows stronger,

Numbers grow
longer,
your friends
become closer,

Days bring
more memories,
and tomorrow
more treasured,

Thoughts become
unremembered,
and walks become
much longer,

Yet when my story
of life is done,
will there be somthing
that could go on?
