Decades Of Life Poem by Dorsey Baker

The decades of life
they come and they go
with lightning speed
the passage of time
turning the sweet milk
to sour grapes
The decades of life
they come and they go
once beautiful people
now aged
and wrinkled
the decades of life
they come and they go
pictures from the past
they show us
what we used to look like
and the way things used to be
the decades of life
they come and they go
like heavy winds
blowing across the sea!
