Mend Thyself

Mend thyself




  When skin creases and silver colours the plait,
    Nest empties, then starts that endless wait;
             Better be your own best friend,
                   Part with that dull trend;
                              Stay happy,
                                  Mend;
                             Dress snappy,
                          Defy ageing, blend;
                  Youthful times don't ever end,
                 Let sweet melodies reverberate;
  When skin creases and silver colours the plait.
