Scraggly

Scraggly old man I be. Many years behind me now. Scraggly old man I be. Toil, hard work, back breaking work only thing I’ve ever known. Scraggly old man I be. Children born all grown up, grandchildren too. Scraggly old man I be. Scars of life all over me can be found. Scraggly old man I be. Scars all over me outside and in. Scraggly old man I be. Generations just like me. Scraggly old men they were. All ghosts! Scraggly old man I be. Years have come,p years have gone, leaving me in the dust. Scraggly old man I was.
