The Old Man

An antiquity of our time
lived through the ages
like a mason jar
filled to the brim
with old, stained memories
was a century worth living

More than just an observer,
He helped shape the world,
like a carpenter with his plane.

He was a living book
of history,
experiencing events I've
only read about.

Left a legacy
with not only 
what he built
with his hands,
but within the very
hearts of everyone who knew
him.
