When I Am Old I Will Play Bassoon

WHEN I AM OLD I WILL PLAY BASSOON

I taught my boys to play chess—now I’m no longer a challenge to their game.

I taught my girls to drive—now I dread the urban traffic.

I taught students to speak and act—now they have far exceeded my achievements.

I encouraged churches to minister—now I wonder what I can still do for God.

I freely admit I cannot do what I did at 25—or 55.

AGING—what makes the process worthwhile?

I can teach my grandchildren to play chess—and still beat them (although they destroy me in video games).

I can rejoice in the writing, speaking and acting accomplishments of my former students.

I can express joy for a multitude of years of God’s mercy.

I can discover new and creative ways to serve God—even with age accommodations.

WHEN I AM OLD I WILL PLAY BASSOON.

Psalm 92:14 “They still bear fruit in old age.”
