Time was long and time was bent
Life’s good fortunes tossed and spent
Wasted footprints in the dust
Scattered by the breeze of lust
Love’s bubbling fount long since dry
Kisses, laughter now a sigh
The sun shined so brightly then
Not a care of if and when
Soft skin, bright eyes, golden dreams
Now hidden under wrinkle creams
Old friends that have passed beyond
Our time has spent, our savings gone
And yet we rise to greet the day
Hoping that in some way
The well of time will once more brim
With thoughts of love, bright eyes, soft skin.
