I Don’t Want to Be a Burden in My Old Age

Austin Tang — Wed, 11 Jun 2025 13:57:56 +0000

I am not afraid of growing old. Let the wrinkles come—I will wear them like medals, proof that I have laughed, cried, and lived deeply. Let my skin loosen and fold like pages in a well-loved book. Let my hair silver and shine, a crown earned by years of stories.

I do not fear the quiet. Solitude is no stranger; I have learned to make peace with my own company. I have sat in stillness and found strength there. I know how to rest in the silence without being swallowed by it.

But what unsettles me is something else—fate. That unpredictable force that sometimes tucks you in at night like a loving hand and other times leaves you standing in the rain, forgotten and cold.

I do not want to become a burden—a sigh of exhaustion behind closed doors. I do not want my presence to feel heavy in the room or my name to be whispered in tones of weariness. I do not want my dependence to become someone else’s silent sacrifice.

I want to be like the wind—restless, moving, always dancing forward. I want my old age to be a poem of resilience, a morning brewed with memories, a sunset painted with hope. I want to keep learning, keep loving, keep discovering—never stagnant, never finished.

I do not fear aging. I fear being boxed in by a life I didn’t choose—a life that shrinks instead of expands.

So I will keep walking forward, not clinging to what was, but embracing what still can be.

And if the day comes when my steps falter and I lean on others more than I would like, I will offer my gratitude freely, never forgetting that love is not a burden—it’s a gift.

To those who carry others with patience and tenderness—you are the quiet heroes of this world. Thank you

Holmes

Thought for the Day…03/15/22

Poem Of Life

Life is but a stopping place,
A pause in what’s to be,
A resting place along the road,
To sweet eternity.

We all have different journeys,
Different paths along the way.
We all were meant to learn some things,
But never meant to stay.

Our destination is a place,
Far greater than we know.
For some, the journey’s quicker,
For some the journey’s slow.

And when the journey finally ends,
We’ll claim a great reward,
And find an everlasting peace,
Together with the Lord.

A lovely poem for you.

A lovely poem for you

It has been forwarded but nice just the same!

As I was walking

Down life’s highway

Many years ago

I came upon a

Sign that read

Heavens Grocery Store..

When I got a

Little closer

The doors swung

Open wide

And when I came

To myself

I was standing

Inside..

I saw a host of

Angels.

They were

Standing everywhere

One handed me a

Basket

And said ‘My

Child shop with care..’

Everything a

Human needed

Was in that

Grocery store

And what you

Could not carry

You could come

Back for more

First I got some

Patience.

Love was in that

Same row.

Further down was

Understanding,

You need that

Everywhere you go..

I got a box or

Two of Wisdom

And Faith a bag

Or two.

And Charity of

Course

I would need some

Of that too..

I couldn’t miss

The Holy Ghost

It was all over

The place.

And then some

Strength

And Courage to

Help me run this race.

My basket was

Getting full

But I remembered

I needed Grace,

And then I chose

Salvation for

Salvation was for

Free

I tried to get

Enough of that to do

For you and me..

Then I started to

The counter

To pay my grocery

Bill,

For I thought I

Had everything

To do the Masters

Will.

As I went up the

Aisle

I saw Prayer and

Put that in ,

For I knew when I

Stepped outside

I would run into

Sin.

Peace and Joy

Were plentiful,

The last things

On the shelf.

Song and Praise

Were hanging near

So I just helped

Myself.

Then I said to

The angel

‘Now how much do

I owe?’

He smiled and

Said

‘Just take them

Everywhere you go.’

Again I asked

‘Really now,

How much do I

Owe?’

‘My child’ he

Said , ‘God paid your bill

A long long time

Ago.’

This poem has

Been sent to you

With love and for

Blessings.

It originated in

The Netherlands

And has been

Around the world 9 times.

The blessing has now

Come to you and

You will receive

Showers of blessings in the mail

Within six days

Of receiving this letter

Providing you

Sent it out to someone else.

Do not send money

As this message

Has no price. Do

Not keep this letter

But send it on to

Someone who

Needs blessings.
