There once lived an orphan rich man
In a golden palace built of gold
While an old & wrinkly man slept
Outside in the brisk & shivering cold
Each day they passed each other by
To chase the warmth of life
The young returned to his family at night
But the other had no house, a child or a wife
One day the young man asked the old
Why the tired man became so unfortunate
Then replied the wrinkly, lonely old man
He was quite happy with his destiny & fate
So he invited the old man to his home
To the warm, golden palace on the hill
And then he gave him a room to sleep in
And promised and made him a new deal
The young man offered the wrinkled man
To stay and have whatever he desired
So the old man cried tears of joy
And told the orphan child, “I’m you’re father!”
Time aged and flew them by unnoticed
As they both watched seasons slowly depart
The young man learned a special lesson
And what was stored in the old man’s heart
