The Old Dragon

looks back

once he used to

be a young one

The old dragon

looks back

sees that it's 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 repeats the 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 that was a long time

ago

now it just

isn't so!
