WEATHERED BEAUTY

by Saige   Nov 22, 2004


The old broken tree swing
How many children soared
Gazing upon the heavens above
Past the stars onto their dreams

The rickety abandoned house
With layers of peeling paint
Each reads like a book’s chapter
What stories each layer contains

The dying and barren tree
With lover’s initials carved
Who were these young lovers
Did their love endure

The damaged rocking chair
How many late nights
Filled with a mother’s love
Calming a child’s fear

So often we fail to see
The true beauty inside
When the outside glimmer
Has been tarnished and dulled

Racing along life’s path
Rushing just to “Get there”
Ever failing to realize
Life is all about the journey
