THE GOLDEN AGE
| HOME | . |
 There is a very special police services program for senior citizens
called Triad. A triad is a three-sided thing. In this case, it is an agreement between
the sheriff, the police chiefs and the senior citizens to work together to improve police
service to the elderly people within a county.As people grow older, it can become difficult for them to look out
for themselves. That is why our police will go out of their way to protect them from
crime, abuse and fraud. That is why we support programs like Triad.This poem is the lyric of a song -- a ballad. It was written by me
and a senior citizen who has worked very hard to bring the Triad program to New York --
Bob Cutler of Middletown, New York.Bob and his wife Shirley have since passed away, but the Triad program
is going strong in New York.SOMEDAY, THERE'LL BE NO MORE OLD FOLKS (For Bob and Shirley Cutler) Someday, there'll be no more old folks. Like the seasons, they come and they'll go. You'll turn and you'll search for their faces; The faces you knew long ago. Go looking in every direction. Look around and look high and look low. Search everywhere all the world over And you'll come up with nothing to show. It isn't that you have misplaced them. It isn't that they have got lost. But rather, it's time that's erased them. As sunlight will melt away frost. Look around at the things that they authored; All the things that are lasting and true. Look at all of the things that they cared for. Remember that one of them's you. Take a moment to ponder that thought, now. Think of all of the time that has passed. Think of all of the years you've been living. Did you think they'd go by quite so fast? That's when you'll feel that they're present And never did leave you at all. When you see yourself old in the mirror. When your winter's succeeded you fall. Someday, there'll be no more old folks. Like the seasons, they came and they'll go. Yes, someday there'll be no more old folks Except you and me, don't you know. Go To TABLE OF CONTENTS  Questions?
