Once I was a Child
No cares among the World
My friends once the same
Caught up in a childish Swirl

Once I was a Boy
And School became a hassle
I passed through with rough edges
But still able to flip my Tassel

Once I was a Man
Down and out with Bills
A car, a house, and a child
Not a Dollar spent on my wills

Once I was Elderly
Bent and broken in two
Lying prone in my sheeted Bed
Passed and scorned by you

Now I am a Seraph
Swinging and singing by He
In a land of wishful White
Cradled by a waving Sea
