Set With Me

terrible songs the passing time sings
drifting silence the minute hand brings
putting an end to all living things
set with me and watch it go

the young grow older and get strong
singing along with times old song
setting their ways, right or wrong
set with me and watch them go

now that we are old and grey
together on this brisk spring day
you swell with tears as i say
set with me, as i must go

If the photo attached is you you write here beyond your years with a depth not usually aquired at such a young age. Well done.
