He old silent man sat on the porch,
rocking slowly without a sound,
thinking of the good old days
thinking of what the world has become.
he remembers when the first car was released on the market,
he remembers when the trees were all around,
a tear seeps from his eye as he remembers the war,
and a smile stretches across his dusty old face as he remembers hi first born and how much fun theyd had,
then he sighs as he remembers giving his daughter away at her wedding.
he coughs as the dirt and dust from the desert enter his lungs,
and sips water as he remembers the last visit of his family,
he frowns as he remembers his brothers tricks,
then chuckles about the payback upon him,
he sobs as he remembers his wifes passing,
and feels relieved as he remembers how he met her.
but as he looks around,
he notices how the world has changed over his lifetime.
and as a gentle desert breeze whispers by,he takes his last breath,
and closes his eyes for the last time.
