The Old Dragon Poem by Dorsey Baker

The old dragon
looks back
once he used to
be a young one
The old dragon
looks back
sees that its a long way
that he has come
The old dragon
looks back
and his eyes
tears they start to shed
The old dragon
looks back
so many of his friends
they are now dead
The old dragon
once so powerful
now begs for mercy
The old dragon is
now weak as he can be
The old dragon
cannot vision the future
so he just repeatsthe past
The old dragon
his youth has faded from him
and he has aged
so very fast
used to be
a fire breathing dragon
but thatwas a long time
ago
now it just
isn't so!
