Dismissed By The Young Poem by Melvina Germain
Dismissed By The Young
Walking with a younger person, alive and well.
Dismissed by others as they stand to talk a spell.
All questions directed to the young person’s ears.
While I stand with a faint smile fighting back the tears.
Sometimes one feels their existence goes unnoticed.
You must make the young look and focus.
Take your place, stand firm, inject your voice.
Be heard, make that important choice.
Your silence is a loss to the young person’s ears.
Speak up, give your opinion, your experience is dear.
Your years of gains and losses, of many ups and downs,
will feed the minds of the young, gather them around.
Mel, I agree so heartedly with you on this one. However I am lucky I guess and know a lot of young people who do enjoy my wisdom. Having said that I know there are a lot more wiser than me who get ignore by those who should be listening to them. Another great write by the great lady of PH. Top marks and thanks for sharing it my friend. David
