Women wear a calming air of grace
Stones scrawled with countless birth dates
Those moments nothing could replace
Not time nor change
Small birds perched on steady branches
Sing soft in sweet abandon
Sure signs of why this life was granted
In spite of pain
Old friends stand side by side
Known before those creeping lines
Children grasping mothers tight
Avert their eyes, as they and hide and hide
No glance of useless blame
Not a word of unjust fate
Leave tired bodies where they lay
And clear the stage
If life feels different it's the same
It's the same
In a constant state of change
We;re the same
Though we've seen better days
And understand we're all as desperate to explain
But it doesn't always work that way
Just see the night sky for the stars if you're still awake
