There will come a time
When I shall no longer be.
No more than
Food for the waiting tree.
In so little time
I shall be but a memory.
Fading ever quickly
As the winter’s sun.
Hear the tick of time
Rushing into the future
With so little regard
To the call of a beggar.
Love has little time
To deliver its tender touch.
One to last forever
From her I love so much.
From death there’s no retreat
Yet I shall return
As a scented flower
That grows under the tree.
