Fade Away

A forgotten swing In a playground
Rusts until it breaks
A forgotten summer flower
A new blossom can not make.

A forgotten piece of bread
Turns mouldy through, and through
A forgotten green leaf fruit tree
Will never bare it's fruit.

If we forget each other
Every single day,
A forgotten human being
Will one day fade away.
