Old And Broken

                                                                              OLD AND BROKEN

His bodies old and broken

His life is nearly at it's end

Failing bit by bit

Impossible to mend

His family gathered around his bed

All filled with grief and woe

Eye's sore and red from tears

It's nearly his time to go

His sight begins to fade

His eyes they start to drop

His book of life is nearly shut

This is The End...full stop

His breathing's slow and shallow

Until it finally ebbs away

His candle of light nearly extinguished

His body waiting to decay

Hie eyes no longer see

All his pains have now all gone

All that's left is peace and quiet

Now his life is done

Reunited with long dead relatives

Who'd left when he was in his prime

Now he looks down on those left behind

To watch over for all time
