Old Woman
This is not the world that you knew in fact it is far from it
Thus is the conclusion you drew and one we must all admit
For how quickly things change and not always for the best
What used to seem so strange is now routinely done in jest
The whole family has dissolved lead by those not to be heard
As life around them revolved and the consequences incurred
With no sense of structure and a complete lack of love for God
Understanding what's in store, so many thinking you are odd
A wise and strong generation who was raised up from nothing
Adding to this Nation in all the hopes and dreams they'd bring
As off to the corner you now sit barely given the time of day
But in your amazing wit you now use all this time to pray
As they politely look down upon you, in so missing your gift
For you'd know exactly what to do, we all need such a lift
But those days are all done and just a memory of the past
Both knowing who won in seeing the wicked shadow he cast
Tutus 2:3
The aged women likewise,
that [they be] in behaviour as becometh holiness,
not false accusers, not given to much wine, teachers of good things;
