The Chair Made With Sorrow
<p><em>A beautiful handcrafted chair,<br />
fit for a queen and her castle,<br />
Should the last beauty in one’s life be sold?<br />
The old man sat himself down with hands on his lap.</em></p>
<p><em>He worked day and night through a dark existence,<br />
vibrant colour,<br />
noise from loved ones,<br />
the smell from the home cooked meals,<br />
everything got lost with time.</em></p>
<p><em>The slow beats of willpower,<br />
an attempt to hold dark experiences at bay,<br />
a heart was overflowing with all dangers of life,<br />
hunger also remained,<br />
there was nothing but a can of beans.</em></p>
<p><em>He had once learn something important,<br />
avoid the idle mind,<br />
a push forward with brittle and old bones,<br />
little good does it do today,<br />
an old hand can barely grasp its hammer.</em></p>
<p><em>It’s never too late to push towards greatness,<br />
it was time to visit the queen,<br />
after locking all doors,<br />
he tied his chair on his slumping back and began walking.</em></p>
<p><em>Step after step,<br />
spotlight after spotlight started lightning up,<br />
eyes from others looking at incredible willpower,<br />
an old man are walking towards greatness once again,<br />
the weakest of steps,<br />
even still,<br />
he had become a role model for others to see.</em></p>
