Image: The strength of old age (here)

old windows and old doors on old buildings

ubiquitously holding out tenaciously bidding

it's oak of old, sturdy strong materials being

replaced by new flimsy panels now seeing

but the beauty of its weathered texture 

much as the maturity of old citizens who 

braved out the debilitating forces of nature

to stake a claim of the privileged few 

under testing conditions to adequately prosper

such is the tenacity of the old and the aged

physically frail in a seemingly weakened frame

but strong in mind who surprisingly managed

to survive with their self-respect maintained
