The Old

Take the time to know the old as they have weathered the cold. A wealth of knowledge, whether or not they've been to college. Though some are malevolent by nature we should be understanding and not so demanding. Take the time to hear the old as their stories may only once be told. They know how to have patience and tolerance so slow down and give them a chance. Today you may see them but tomorrow not so, take the time to not say no.
