In Every Case There Is a Sorrow, by Carl Halling Subscribe to rss feed for Carl Halling

In every case, there is a sorrow
Attached to advancing age, 
And the decline attendant upon it,
Decline physical, mental, emotional,
In every case, there is a sorrow.

But somehow, there is a special sorrow,
In the pathetic tears 
Of an ageing man,
Looking back at the thousand plus follies
Of a stupidly misspent youth,

But somehow there is a special sorrow
Attached to those who look back
With eyes filled with the tears
Of fathomless and torturous regret, 
And of promise unfulfilled.
