Legal Tender of Getting Old

Legal Tender of Getting Old If tears were coins I'd be a rich man… If sadness was time I'd live forever… If I only knew what to do to make it better… I would do it in a heartbeat. But, no answers are easy when feelings crash around you… And the Sun does not shine in the heavens above… if only I could see…if only I could find a way…if only I knew… How do you say goodbye when there is no love? To only be me myself alone … again… decisions are frightening and shaky to behold… But change is needed for me to stay sane… all the while we continue to grow old. RLM '05
