BEHIND THE LACE CURTAINS
Behind the lace curtains an old lady sat
Her bright brown eyes were wise and warm
Her silver hair was soft and greyed...
Her tattered dress was old and frayed...
Her nose was rosey, her cheeks were plump and bold
On her finger there's a diamond
In her heart there is gold
She watches the people walk the streets
Her thoughts are mixed with visions of peace
Content she watches her mind is certain
That she will not be seen behind the lace curtain. |
