As pure as the angels,
You act on your honesty,
Perceivably stable,
You're not what you used to be,
From a young age you carried a burden,
Showing a glimpse of pain,
Such high hopes one day you would be flawless,
With every step you'd show grace,
You gave in with an honest surrender,
Years pass you've shown your true age,
But you'll always be clever,
As pure as the angels,
You act on your honesty,
Perceivably stable,
You're not what you used to be,
Your joints stiffen up,
As the cold bites your tongue,
Now you can't move at all,
Your frail body isn't what it used to be,
But you raised us up all the same,
The sun used to burn brighter,
But you raised us up all the same,
Or are you longing for youth,
Your face shimmers in the snow,
As you remember your old life, before we came along.
