Your hand is beyond all touch.
Your eyes, they will never dance again.
Oh, my soul, it does not recover,
Your soul I no longer discover.
The trees, they wave their goodbyes to the passing storm,
They wave their goodbyes to the receding dawn.
But I…I say my goodbyes to the thorns,
To the thorns, as I mourn.

When you arrive in your 70’s and have a few dollars put away, what are you supposed to do with the rest of your life? The obvious answer is dedicate yourself to the welfare of others — your immediate family certainly, but also your community, your state, your country, and humanity at large. Use what resources you have left to benefit others, not just yourself. The old adage is, “You can’t take it with you,” so why not use your assets and the time you have left for the benefit of your fellow man?
In her A Drama of Exile, Elizabeth Barrett Browning wrote, “Thou shalt be served thyself by every sense of service which thou renderest.” One is reminded of the transformation that takes place in the character and personality of Scrooge in Charles Dickins’s A Christmas Carol when Scrooge begins to live for the sake and benefit of others.
And yet how few in old age every make such a commitment to dedicate the rest of their lives for the benefit of others.

First leaves fall in June
From a sea of green in bloom.
First souls depart too soon.
Depart in the morning of their day.
Never a chance to play.
How many heights they will never scale.
How many passions never set sail.
How many sorrows never travail.
First leaves fall in June
From a sea of green in bloom.
First souls depart so soon!

It was the greatest speech ever given in American history: Abraham Lincoln’s Gettysburg Address at the dedication ceremonies at Gettysburg, given on November 19, 1963. The speaker before Lincoln, Edward Everett, a very famous orator in his own right, droned on for over 2 hours. After the respectful — and perhaps thankful — applause upon the conclusion of Everett’s speech, Lincoln took the podium. His speech lasted less than 2 minutes. When it ended, there was dead silence from the massive audience that had assembled to hear the speeches and pay their respects at Gettysburg. There was dead silence because no one realized the speech, so brief and to the point, had actually ended. Slowly there was hesitant clapping from the audience. This — silence and confusion — was the immediate and ironic response to the greatest speech ever given in American history. Of course, all the Northern newspapers…
