A CLOSER LOOK - POTD

You look but do not see
The true worth and value of me 
You just see an old man
An empty battered can

Not the strength l possess
Nor the life l was blessed
Love l gave , love l received
The accomplishments l achieved

My body is aged and frail
Though my mind and spirit still prevail
Look closely as l am still here
I have not vanished nor disappeared

Don’t look through me as if l don’t exist 
Ageism and ignorance resist
Lets chat ,share life ,have a laugh
I may be old but l am certainly not daft!
