I saw an old man
his face was rugged
like a map of all the places he had been
he walked a small dog
smoked a cigarette
he looked lost so I asked, "can I show you the way"?
he cracked a small smile
his face made a face
for this long life my eyes have ever seen
he said "son don't you worry,
and don't think that way
I may seem lost
I may seem so distraught"
he smiled to remember
a life as a king
"I lost my love
a long time ago...
now i spend my days
remembering the best times.
i carry our picture
in this charm i gave to her...
she said it was her favorite
gift of all time,
so i sit here waiting
for her to come around..."
