Its quality and content so impressed the staff that copies were made and distributed to every nurse in the hospital.<br /><br />One nurse took her copy to Missouri.<br />The old man's sole bequest to posterity has since appeared in the Christmas edition of the News Magazine of the St. Louis Association for Mental Health. A slide presentation has also been made based on his simple, but eloquent, poem.<br /><br />And this little old man, with nothing left to give to the world, is now the author of this 'anonymous' poem winging across the Internet.<br /><br />Remember this poem when you next meet an older person who you might brush aside without looking at the young soul within we will all, one day, be there, too!<br /><br />Crabby Old Man<br /><br />What do you see nurses?. . . . .. What do you see?<br />What are you thinking . . . . . When you're looking at me?<br />A crabby old man, . . . . . Not very wise,<br />Uncertain of habit . . . . .. . . . . With faraway eyes?<br />Who dribbles his food . . . . . . . . And makes no reply .<br />When you say in a loud voice . . . . . . 'I do wish you'd try!'<br />Who seems not to notice . . . . . . The things that you do.<br />And forever is losing . . . . . . . . . . A sock or shoe?<br />Who, resisting or not . . . . . . . . . . Lets you do as you will,<br />With bathing and feeding . .. . . . . . The long day to fill?<br />Is that what you're thinking? . . . . . Is that what you see?<br />Then open your eyes, nurse . . . . . You're not looking at me.<br />I'll tell you who I am. . . . . . . . As I sit here so still,<br />As I do at your bidding, . . . . . . As I eat at your will.<br />I'm a small child of Ten . . . . . . With a father and mother,<br />Brothers and sisters . . . .. . . . . . Who love one another.<br />A young boy of Sixteen . . . . . With wings on his feet.<br />Dreaming that soon now . . . . . . . . A lover he'll meet.<br />A groom soon at Twenty . . . . . My heart gives a leap..<br />Remembering, the vows . . . . . That I promised to keep.<br />At Twenty-Five, now . . . . . . . . I have young of my own.<br />Who need me to guide . . . . And a secure happy home.<br />A man of Thirty . . . . . . . .. . . My young now grown fast,<br />Bound to each other . . . . . . . With ties that should last.<br />At Forty, my young sons . . . . . . Have grown and are gone,<br />But my woman's beside me . .. . . . To see I don't mourn.<br />At Fifty, once more, babies play 'round my knee,<br />Again, we know children . . . . . . . My loved one and me.<br />Dark days are upon me . .. . . . . My wife is now dead.<br />I look at the future . .. . . . . . . Shudder with dread.<br />For my young are all rearing . . . . . Young of their own.<br />And I think of the years . . . And the love that I've known.<br />I'm now an old man . . . . . . . . . And nature is cruel.<br />Tis jest to make old age . . . . Look like a fool.<br />The body, it crumbles . . .. . . . Grace and vigor, depart.<br />There is now a stone . . . . . .. . Where I once had a heart.<br />But inside this old carcass . . . . . .. A young guy still dwells,<br />And now and again . . . .. . . . My battered heart swells.<br />I remember the joys . . . . . . . . . I remember the pain..<br />And I'm loving and living . . . . . . . . . . . Life over again.<br />I think of the years, all too few . . . . . . Gone too fast.<br />And accept the stark fact . . . . .. . That nothing can last.<br />So open your eyes, people . . . . . . . . Open and see.<br />Not a crabby old man. Look closer . . . .
