Do
you stand by me?
When
you know the chips are down
You
know I have nothing to show
When
the final tally is on?
Do
you run away?
Leaving
me to get my feet back on the ground?
Do
you hang around to watch me?
Falling
to pieces in my mind....
When
a man is down
He
has no home no family
Lost
his home to his son's folly
He
lost his memory
Do
you stand by me?
The
man in the old folks' home
Passing
his time in lost memory
Friends
he can't remember
When
they come a visit
Does
he remember his friends?
He
opens his newspaper
Pondering
on the events in print
It
all depends
“Do
you stand by me?
When
I am down and out
Passing
my time in old folks' home”
This
is a man I met
Cycling
around town enjoying his meals
Now
he lost everything
His
dignity, his home and family and friends
He
lost his memory
He
just didn't want to come back
He
withdrawn himself away from it all
Living
in his own little world
