Little Old Man
Miguel A. Lopez 1966 (cidra)
A mysterious man looking from a window sill.
The night is still. He's making his will.
A little for him, a little for them just to pay his debts,
being prepare for death. His little smile as he goes
back to the past. The time of life that wasn't bad.
He feels so great inside of the time he spent on this
earth. Knowing that god is watching from above.
He sees the light shine, knowing that pretty soon it's time.
The little old man that had shared, his love and wisdom
with the people he cared. To him life was easy to understand. He says to himself " What do I know I'm
just a little old man "
