Analysis of And the grass grows ……
Life weaves it’s tortuous path
Begins with hope, anticipation
Opportunities sometimes taken
Actions come and actions go
Some good but some not so
Maybe success, fame or notoriety?
But new takes over from the old
Friends, remembered most forgotten
Lost in time, memories fade
Move onward, onward, onward
And the grass grows…….
