Ole Bill

A grizzled old man


lives out back on the hill.


In a tiny log cabin


We call him Ole Bill.


Ole Bill wears a plaid shirt


and tattered old jeans


On his head rests an old cap


His boots split at the seams.


He has three dirty old hounds


They look tired and worn.


But Ole Bill he loves them


And he tells them each morn.


The neighborhood kids


Visit Bill every day.


They sit by his rocker


To hear all he does say.


He tells them tall tales


With a twinkle in his eye.


They listen with wonder


He looks wistful and sighs.


Ole Bill he’s so tired


The kids bring him joy.


They love to hear stories


Bout when Bill was a boy.


He’s seen 90 years of mornings


Eaten three times that many meals.


Says prayers every evening


By his bed he always kneels.


This poem goes on and on


For one simple reason.


Old Bill he must die


But I hope not this season.

Sharron: I used to know someone just like this, but for the life of me I can't remember who he was. This was a very nice poem.
Love, Susan

Sharron Fine writing!You did ole Bill proud and bless you for the tribute, we do need to pay more attention to the ole Bills of this world!

Touching and uplifting...our society could use a lot more "ole Bills"...and could perhaps pay a lot more attention to them. Thank you for this enjoyable read.

Loved this, Sharron, Ole Bill sounds like a wonderful old man, and my ambition would be to become just like Ole Bill one day, if the Lord allows. (My wife says I'm already Ole Bill.) Enjoyed this very much.
