Old Souls
You turn around
everything’s changed
sometimes you can’t find
a kind face
walking miles
carrying things
burden of time
leaves its traces here
old souls
are hard to impress
muscles of the heart
sometimes grow back
old souls
sometimes say yes
offer is limited
time’s precious
there’s not a thing
I wouldn’t change
yet growing with you’s
my greatest privilege
stop and think
about those mistakes
you forget that you learned
but you don’t forget the kindness
old souls crackle and pop
warmth and knowledge
are part of the sound
old souls can’t stop
they were born like this
then grow younger
