Good Old Folks

So now you sit and sometimes cry Time just flew and passed you by The plans you once formed in your mind Are gone for good Just left behind Dreams just faded with each day You let the time just drift away Yet others never met this fate They took a chance It's them you hate These simple folks were just concerned Of standing still and getting burned You figured you could waste the day Gave you just more time to play You watched your cash go out the door Then one day There was no more So here you are Now worse by far Only know some worn out jokes Your world now full Of burned out folks

Yet, if you enjoyed your life, you can't call it a waste, and nothing's over till it's over. I am enjoying PoetrySoup, and still writing, so I figure I'm still alive and well, even if every joint creaks and groans.

Ahh for some... But not those at PoetrySoup... So many life connections can be made here... if the writers will only reach out their minds and hands... I do love your writes... Sad... Definitely... disturbing, yes... but good and truthul to many...
