Burlap and satin, old age and youth,
that’s probably backwards to tell the truth.
Cause something that’s satin, is easily cut.
While hide of pure burlap is tested and tough.
Burlap and satin, old age and youth,
a rigid garment and something that’s smooth.
Shining and snagging with rugged touch
not giving out warmth very much.
Burlap and satin, one up one down,
bulging potato sack, a sleek evening gown.
One’s not for the moment and one is hot.
We make the best of what we’ve got.
Satin and burlap, youth and old age
years of life give birth to a sage.
Burlap keeps strong the things that it holds,
precious loved ones and moments of gold.
