Oh the value of the elderly!
How could anyone not know,
they hold so many keys,
so many things they can show.

We all will reach the other side
this I firmly believe,
and the elderly are closest
oh what clues we could retrieve,

for their characters are closest
to how we'll be on high
they are the ones most evolved,
you can see it if you try.

They've let go of the frivolous,
and kept things that are dear,
the memories oh so sweet,
of loved ones that were near.

As a nation we are missing
our greatest true resource
to get to know our elders
and let them guide our course.
