the old man walks


The old man walks
Leg bandaged up with a limp
By his walking stick
The eyes have seen

Shabby pant and dirty shirt
He knows he can't change his life
The youth of his time
It was wasted long ago

The hard work of his time
Toiling hard to make his living
He hardly earned enough to feed
The youth of his days tomorrow hardly mattered

How time flies for him
The years gone the future bleak
As he walks he may wish
A chance but time isn't on his hand
