My poetry's fading
As my mind grows old
My hard worked portraits
Are turning to mould
Most of my elders
Are dying or dead
However i sit and wrinkle
In a hospital bed
My memories dim
In a bright lit room
And darker they dim
Leaving an empty gloom
I wish I was young
With the things that I love
But now I am waiting
For the voice from above
I'm scared...
My poetry's fading
My mind has grown old
My hard worked portraits
Have turned to mould.
