A TIRED SHADE OF GOLD
The years linger on taking its toll.
You’ve been through it all looking back you behold.
All the things you’ve seen.
The many crazy dreams.
Now you wind down as your life begins to slow.
Seeing faces that are unfamiliar these people you don’t know.
Daydreaming you stare outside.
You wonder over your life and how it has passed you by.
All the things you wish you would have done.
Now wishing your life could be redone.
Nothing is familiar you don’t even recognize yourself.
You won’t let anyone in you won’t let anyone help.
Now you’re unable to speak but oh the words you would say.
Never take life for granted the price you now pay.
All the years are gone and now you are old.
Just barely hanging on in your tired shade of gold.
