the brown gate of old



The brown gate of old
Standing there under the sun
The rain from the sky
The elements in the night

The hot and rain weather
It takes it all under its belt
Standing watch without complaint
Protecting the inhabitants in years

Now old age crops in
The elements take its toll
The rust slowly emerges
It croaks under its weight

One day its hinges broke
Telling the sign of its life
2 workers came to weld it back
It holds for the moment

A new gate will be commissioned
A new guard to watch the day
The neighbouring dogs will sniff it

Maybe just to say hello
