Quiet

Growing older, I love only quietness; who need be concerned with the things of this world?
Looking back, what beter plan than this: returning to the grove.

When I was in first grade I had to stand in the corner one day for yelling at all the other kids to be quiet because they were too loud and their noise hurt my ears. Later, my parents took me to the doctor and we found out I needed eyeglasses because my poor eyesight was causing headaches.

My eyes got better over time, though now I need reading glasses. And, by the way, I still like for people to shut up when I tell them to.
