Weathered Wall

You were someone to believe in

A place for hope in a changing world

Feeling every moment

Every one of the years spent in your arms

After a lifetime of living

These soiled hands show no life at all

Working at all hours

Never facing the fears here in my heart

Grieving for the loss of heaven

Weeping for the loss of heaven

By the wailing wall

You were someone to believe in

Giving life where there was a will to learn

But it's the nature of living

To count only the years left in your heart
