Old Man

A man on a lake
sits there and waits
with the bait on the line,
everything fine,

patiently as can be
world's left him alone
to fish his last bass
while the waves quietly splash.

He's lived his life;
family all dead,
nothing left unsaid,
memory is all he has left.

Just in his boat
on a silent lake,
he fell asleep
never to wake.
