He sits there in his favorite rocking chair Gently it sways back an forth It's wood aged from its years of service Chipped and faded He sits an stares Thinking of his old self, me His eyes past there prime His face saggy Riddled in wrinkles Gathered over the years They tell a story of his age Ears hang low, spikes of hairs peek out He stares out He would tell you the world is grey With a complacent look on his face He imagine his once true love next to him Her once blond hair white as snow Her crystal blue eyes Dulled from the decades Her skin now saggy like his She sits in a matching chair as his There chairs rock in unisons She would always disappear in the breeze just before she smiled He sits in his favorite rocking chair Even though he's old now He still remembers her She's everlasting He finally looks to the sky an smiles And just as the chair stops So does his heart

Rocking chair
He sits there in his favorite rocking chair Gently it sways back an forth It's wood aged from its years of service Chipped and faded He sits an stares Thinking of his old self, me His eyes past there prime His face saggy Riddled in wrinkles Gathered over the years They tell a story of his age Ears hang low, spikes of hairs peek out He stares out He would tell you the world is grey With a complacent look on his face He imagine his once true love next to him Her once blond hair white as snow Her crystal blue eyes Dulled from the decades Her skin now saggy like his She sits in a matching chair as his There chairs rock in unisons She would always disappear in the breeze just before she smiled He sits in his favorite rocking chair Even though he's old now He still remembers her She's everlasting He finally looks to the sky an smiles And just as the chair stops So does his heart
