What Dies? (ZT)

-- from "Food for the Thinking Mind" by Ven K. Sri Dhammananda

Old photographers never die;
they just stop developing,
Old accountants never die;
they just lose their balance,
Old lawyers never die;
they just lose their appeal,
Old professors never die;
they just lose their faculties.

(Bonus)
Old soldiers never die;
they just stop fighting,
Old poets never die;
they just lose their lines.
