fire light
By the flames of the coals fire light
Granny sits in her old rocking chair
Back and for she rocks her chair
Her faithfull pal her only friend sitting on her lap
Tibby his name old he now his
Her old faith cat her only friend
The chimming clock marks her time on earth counting down the hours the days
Her old black and white telly hisses to be played
Dark the room hides the decay. Un loved the room
The decay fills the room the curtains drawn with partial light emitting
Lighting parts or the room
The dust thickend she has wrote her name in the long lasting dust
Old she is her failing body unable to dust and clean her youth washed away never to be restored for now her home is left to decay
Unwanted unloved by her family and friends
For now she alone and her companion the cat live in decay
Granny sits in her old rocking chair
Back and for she rocks her chair
Her faithfull pal her only friend sitting on her lap
Tibby his name old he now his
Her old faith cat her only friend
The chimming clock marks her time on earth counting down the hours the days
Her old black and white telly hisses to be played
Dark the room hides the decay. Un loved the room
The decay fills the room the curtains drawn with partial light emitting
Lighting parts or the room
The dust thickend she has wrote her name in the long lasting dust
Old she is her failing body unable to dust and clean her youth washed away never to be restored for now her home is left to decay
Unwanted unloved by her family and friends
For now she alone and her companion the cat live in decay

Her old black and white telly hisses to be played captures aloneness that consumes in fires light where the long lasting dust is all that holds her name and Tibby there to care.
