Another day.

Another day.

Yummy.

There are no roses

Not today

No pennies for your thoughts

No one to see you getting older

As the days go by

Growing old

With no one to remember

What you were like

When you were young

Why worry

The weight of it

Pulls your head down low

Rounding your shoulders

As if you were

An apology

Turns the corners of a

Once sweet mouth

Into a grimace

People come

People go

All they see

Of you is frozen

In time

Set in stone

They pass on by

Without a care

It is no surprise

They miss the music

Still playing

In your soul

No time for regrets

Or tears of sorrow

Even without roses

Not today

As I will give a penny

For your thoughts

And step outside

With you tomorrow.
