Ashes Ashes

Here’s how my gardens grow
With silver bells and human shells 
And my pretty maids all in a row
I suppose its time to ring more bells

We dance around the rosie 
Pockets full of rotting posie 
Childhood in ashes ashes 
Why does life move in flashes?

Now I sit on this beautiful wall 
Knowing one day I’ll take a big fall
And even my mother and all of my friends
Will not be able to put me together again
