Flotsam and Jetsam
We are like flotsam and jetsam bobbing on the tide
Moving here and there, being pushed and pulled
Further and further from where we began
Without hope of ever returning , to that far off beginning
Far from those that were our anchor
That grounded us and kept us from harm
Far from the innocent games we once played
Far, Far from those halcyon days
We in mind, as sharp as ever
Whilst our bodies decay
Lost forever in our thoughts
Of long passed times
Never quite able it seems
To get a hold of the reigns
To make a sense of it, this condition
This painful passing of time
Flotsam and jetsam we have been
And are likely to remain
Drifting on and endless tide
Moving with its ebb and flow
