Silence Looms

When you are wrinkled, and old and grey And resting in your reclined chair And when silence looms and warms the air Your troubled thoughts seem fade away Forgotten memories, long gone, lie black And loved ones lost along the road Then, smiles and tears in over-load When heartfelt memories start to come back Take off those specs and wipe your tears That dripped onto your wrinkled face And stay like dust- that happy place When you remember thoughts from all your years
