the chair















The chair once it was
Full of warmth and flow
The people came to seek counsel
Sometimes free for the poor

The chair turned old
Paint frayed and lines
Like the owner in the light
The spider's crawl on the face

The chair had its days
The moments of glory and disarray
The missing years in prison
It was for a worthwhile cause

The principles stayed
Through his life he lived by it
The never changed attitude
It brought him fame and fortune

He saw the years
Passing through in his mind
The chair still stayed true
Faded colours glowing reflection

He took his bow
Grateful for the years
Slowly the image gone
The chair stayed empty
