Faded Promises

Fade to faded photographs You know the ones A battlefield from long ago Broken horses Broken cannon Broken men Faded broken men. Fade to faded photographs You know the kind A desert scene from long ago Wild ponies Feathered lances Proud warriors Faded broken lifeways. Fade to faded photographs You know the places The ones so hard to find Clear waters Untamed wilderness All God's creatures Faded fading landscapes. Fade to faded photographs You know their names Seats of power then and now Wooden desks Feather pens Prideful men Faded broken promises. r ~ 4/27/14
