Falling away




















Things tend to fall away

not that we want them to
they just do
but the heart stays strong, a teenage boy
still loves to roll in the grass
and drive his car too fast

Things tend to fall away
the body stiffer,
the blue eyes squint
those wrinkles around the edges getting bigger
and what's with that double chin?
but the heart stays strong, still a crazy boy of sixteen
