A veteran of life hates when young complain about the slow pace

They enjoy the silent nights, long walks gazing at space

Although so distant they are intimate with the sky

For they've seen it through their wrinkled ethereal eyes a thousand times

and they've changed their narrative again and again

they've realized

Everybody could leave them, 

but the planets never stray too far away

A veteran of life, he's decided today is the day

He wish's now to return home to stay
