|
The old house stands deserted |
|
Crumbling and decaying |
|
Its broken windows watching |
|
As a young child wanders |
|
In amongst the roses |
|
Overgrown and falling |
|
The garden once was cared for |
|
Life is like the garden. |
|
The roses reach to touch her |
|
They whisper as she passes |
|
Their petals form a carpet |
|
Soft and warm and scented |
|
In amongst the roses |
|
Full in bloom and fading |
|
The young child cannot hear them |
|
Life is like the young child. |
|
The young child has been gathering |
|
Flowers for her mother |
|
Flowers for her bedside |
|
Flowers for her table |
|
In amongst the roses |
|
She is gathering wild flowers |
|
The roses bend to kiss her |
|
Life is like the roses. |
|
The old house stands deserted |

Crumbling and decaying |

Its broken windows watching |

As a young child wanders |

Full in bloom and fading |

The young child cannot hear them |
|
Life is like the young child |
