EVEN IN OUR OLD AGE

 

the price i paid in my youth 

the love I gave you now I’m brut 

I still have lots to give 

I know you still believe 

although we are now feeble and weak 

our bodies sometimes go sick 

you are forever pretty and young

right by yourself always is where I belong 

forget the kids, they are married and gone 

their children, our grandchildren playing on their lawn 

but here we are, alone and professing 

everyday with you feels new, I’ll keep confessing 

even in our old age we stage 

your skins wrinkled in vintage 

I’ll always plug you early morning flowers 

let them lay them on our caskets when time comes, I hope you don’t bother
