Live Life to Love life

idk just a theory to the happiness of the elderly

I have lived my life

Finding it pretty tough

Finding little joy

And no real love

So i would ask

Why do the elderly love life so

I mean its hard and long

With so many downsides

But with all the bad things aside

I think I figured out why

It takes a long life

To learn to love life

Author's Note

i feel im very right on this just look at the smiles of the old

in these few lines,
i was taken aback,
it's really moving,
and you add a very good point(:

Well that was abrupt. You forgot to capitalize an 'i' in there.

Personally I think it's less of a long life and more of the knowledge that there isn't much left for them, but that's me. In all fairness, it's a cute little short poem, but there's really nothing more I can say about something of this length and lack of depth. Which is not to say that you should change it at all; on the contrary, it's quite competent as it is

I love this poem I could really relate to it..You did a good job on writing it. Keep it up :)

[Zeitgeist Manifesto]

Brilliant! Nothin more to say. 100(+1)

This is an interesting concept. You would think that the longer you have to live through something you don't like the more you would hate it, but as you've pointed out the elderly seem to enjoy it. Nicely done.

You are very right about this. It makes perfect sense too. Amazing write.:)

[deeps]

This is such a wonderful write here.
I like the emotion in this.

[Ashley Black]

This is great although while I know some elderly people who are very happy i know others who are terribly bitter

[HorrorMaster]
