Analysis of Wrinkled and Gray
Bent and frail
And full of tales
Gnarled, veiny, weathered hands
Through experience they understand
Wrinkled and gray
And full of days
Faces lined like a map of life
Imparting wisdom before they die
Listen, hear,
And lend your ear
To those who have lived many years,
That they may leave their stories here.
