Today’s word is “longevous” ... long-lived; living to a great age. (Dictionary.com)
Endure
He’s longevous and slow,
He plods his way along,
He’s seen so much already,
He’s old, but not so strong.
Other than this, quiet.
More than a hundred years to think,
But no wisdom comes from him.
Only a slow, uncaring blink.
Why in God’s great wisdom,
Did he give this creature years?
Perhaps they were not given us,
Because of the weight of tears.
