As you can see in bio picture I have a streak of grey in my hair...it is a topic of conversation more often than not...especially among my first grade students who always have something interesting to say...
The White in Your Hair I often am ask a question... it goes something like this... Why do you have that....that white in your hair? Eyes of curiosity open wide... waiting to hear the answer and why. I am probably just getting old... I replied, unsure of what to say. Hum...the young boy said, scratching his head and thinking, while looking far away. I knew he was about to reply... with something very clever. I awaited for a moment, when he finally said... You'll probably be dead by lunch. Shocked...I simply said, Boy...I sure hope not.

Once I was asked, "why do you have 2 different kinds of shoes on?"
At least the white came on its own, and not because you're a goof.
Cute story!

This was so funny but the grey ,means that you have lived a good life and even so it shows life and strength. Alot of people don't even live to see a gray hair so with that said gray is purity and long gevity and with that said God bless you.

My dear Joyce, what would you reply if some child says: you've lost all you black hair from the crown of your head. But don't worry, you've still got some among the white hair. Splendid poem. Victor
