When Velvet Turns To Stone
When velvet turns to stone
When heart forgets the home
When lovebirds all have flown
When only hate is shown
When kindness turns to night
When blindness covers sight
When fear chases delight
When dreams have taken flight
When trust is torn in two
When old gives way to new
When dry replaces dew
When words are listless, few
True velvet will remain
The texture still the same
It lives up to its name
Plush softness is its claim
It will not suffer blame
It will not taste of shame
True velvet will remain……
