A dozen of years
Time came
time went by
I couldn’t keep time
tied up
I bumped into my old buddy
I got in my way the marine gem
In our chat I found him
no longer the same guy
It made me sad
Against the stream
we pushed out the canoe
each taking a bagful of our past
I felt a sharp prick of
an unknown sorrow
I was at a loss
He who was to go left
with a heavy heart
I too didn’t wait
The house stayed unbuilt
the shirt unused
Teeth came off
Oh dear
A dozen of years has rolled by
