For the old man

Miracles occur
.When you let the chips fall where they may

?Who would’ve thought

I can talk to people
I can look them in the eyes
I can laugh

I can walk for miles
I can run
I can arrive on time

I can cook dinner
I can do the laundry
I can touch and be touched

I can read
I can sleep
I can pet the dog

I can remove the veil
I can scream at them
.I can even forgive them, at times

But
I can no longer dream
And I can no longer love
