When the Last Petal Falls



I've seen better days
When life was grand
And I  didn't see in a haze                                   
 When the hour Glass didn't go so fast with the grains of sand

I had so much joy
And could conquer the world
That  was the days oh boy
And my life wasn't in turmoil
 
Back then I did everything I could
I was young and more beautiful
Life was good
And I alwys had things plentiful

When I was younger
And more wise
I was stronger
And could think more clearer in my mind

I spent my days
Showing off my beauty
And I made
People want to see me

When I was a babe
I was a young bud
And spent my days
Longing for fun

But now I am  a Wilted rose
I have done so m many things in my life
And it shows
And now it's time to say good bye

So as I say good bye to all
I want to also say I love you all
And may I see you in the next life
When the last petal falls
