Psalm the 71st
Old guy talking, un-named.
Reverence always in the lifeline
Persecution.
Slander and naysaying
Godlessness still taking jabs.
Getting up there in years.
Grey hair, wrinkles
Aches and pains.
Well used carcass.
Great and sore troubles.
Serving.
Rejoicing.
Telling of the Lord
And His righteousness.
Only His.
To some youth
Following in line.
Tremendous purposes
For the fourth and final Act.
And then…Graduation.
